Source: neatorama.comWelcome 2 the Royal Kave. It is said that the ancient kave paintings were a magic device for the artist who painted them. Always by co-incedence the animals depicted on the rock walls would manifest outside the cave. Royalty has always understood this concept and became patrons of the artist that where most able to contort reality to the delights of their King or Queen. This drama has played out through out all of the all of the Royal Kourts and Like the Hellfire Klub from the 19th century, our Kings grotto is societies secret play room where even an Emporer can tickle his fancy. Be careful what you wish for because it is waiting for you as you exit our Den. Nestled deep beneath Stockholm’s Bed Rock the Royal Kave is where Dream Makers weave and sketch a new reality for whom ever stumbles upon the secret. Those who enter never emerge the same. A permanent transformation begins on the skin and ends in the mind.

Source: wtfarthistoryThe Bearded Woman by Jusepe de Ribera is truly one of the strangest paintings you’re bound to see and therefore it is a perfect WTF art historical object! The woman you see below is indeed a portrait of an known individual — named Magdalena Ventura — who at the age of 37 began to grow a beard (she was 52 when the portrait was painted and appears holding an infant as if she had just given birth, which is not likely). Anyone who views the portrait will notice a prominent inscription in the lower right hand corner that proclaims Magdalena a “great miracle of nature,” which in the context of 17th century courtly collecting circles was a euphemism for “she’s a freak!” So gawk and stare, and even laugh a little, but let’s try to look beyond the oddity to discover the qualities that make Ribera a genius in paint.
