And yet in the Greek myth depicted here, the lazy lout Cymon is so inspired by the beauty of Iphigenia that he turns into a virtuous polymath. #malegazeforgood

this painting is by Frederic Leighton in 1884...way before the term “kitsch” came into existence in 1920’s Germany. It is argued that the pre Raphaelites probably have more in common with the avante garde. Especially the earlier works of the Pre Raphaelite brotherhood
