The Apotheosis of the Spanish Monarchy by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
Added:A sky crowded with bodies.
Nobody is falling.
Gravity doesn't exist here.
Look at the bottom left.
Muscular figures heave a massive grey pillar upward.
At the center, a woman sits in white silk.
A lion crouches beside her.
This isn't a myth.
It's a deed of empire.
Tiepolo painted this for Charles III.
Third.
The pillars represent the edge of the world claimed [music] by Spain.
The gods aren't inviting them up.
They're yielding the sky.
