beau–brummell:undomestication:undomestication:Man Proposes, God Disposes Edwin Henry Landseer, 1864some gems from the wikipedia page:The painting was exhibited at the 1864 Royal Academy summer exhibition. Lady Franklin was invited to the exhibition, but avoided the “offensive” painting.andIt is well-documented that students at Royal Holloway believe the painting is haunted. It comes from the urban myth that a student sitting their exams in the 1920-30s stabbed a pencil into their eye, writing “The polar bears made me do it” on to their exam paper, in reference to the painting.I attended Royal Holloway for my undergrad degree and visited this painting in the uni’s Picture Gallery AND can confirm it gives off extremely cursed vibes! -- source link
