Erisava

Could anyone translate the poem?

I keep waiting for them to reach the corner. They never do, and it's driving me a little nuts.

It's strange how many painters have used this exact story as a reason to paint a nude — not just Gentileschi.

Once you notice the sky, the faces stop looking pale and start looking sick.

I keep expecting him to look up.

Once I noticed the angels up top, I couldn't stop seeing how crowded the whole bottom half is.

That basket of birds hanging in the corner is easy to miss, but it might be the strangest detail in the whole painting.

I keep going back to how calm it looks, sitting so still for something so alert-looking.

Funny to think an earlier version of this once drew crowds for two days, and now it just hangs here quietly.

Even the hat's got a bit of swagger for someone supposedly about to risk everything.

Neither of them is even looking up at the baby, which seems like the one thing they're there for.

The dog looks more alert than he does.

Some of those figures don't look like typical angels

That painter's looking straight out of the canvas — right now that's just me and a screen, but I still felt caught looking.

I keep waiting for it to start raining.
