Struwwelpeter - BOOM! - Andyk Docs. Ich hab gestern durch Zufall, eine Ausgabe vom Struwwelpeter im Supermarkt entdeckt und natürlich gleich gekauft (für nur 3 Euronen) ... Speziell die Bilder sind einfach der Hammer! Das Buch scheint irgendwie unter Public-Domain-Lizenz zu stehen, weil es schon so alt ist. Denn zum einen ist 3 Euro für ein Bilderbuch ein extrem günstiger Preis und zum anderen sind die Texte und Bilder auch überall im Internet frei verfügbar: Anatomical Drawings Bring Mythical Monsters to Life. It is a question that has plagued mankind for centuries yet has been solved with no credible answers: how do mermaids…you know…mate?

Anatomical Drawings Bring Mythical Monsters to Life

Artist Walmor Corrêa wondered about this and other questions of mythical creature anatomy, so he set out to create a series of anatomical drawings exploring the bodies of the mermaid and several other famous mythical beings. (all images via: Flavorwire) Corrêa has always been a fan of Leonardo da Vinci’s incredible anatomical drawings as well as Brazilian folklore. He found a stunning way to combine them in these beautiful charts detailing the inner workings of monsters and myths. These fascinating drawings are so visually striking that it is hard to look away – even from the slightly more grotesque images. The suite of drawings is also serving to familiarize the rest of the world with Brazilian folklore.

The ipupiara is somewhat similar to a mermaid, having a human head and the body of a water creature. File:Ars moriendi (Meister E.S.), L.181.png. Witches' Sabbath (The Great He-Goat) Witches' Sabbath or The Great He-Goat (Spanish: Aquelarre[1] or El gran cabrón[2]) are names given to a mural by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya.

Witches' Sabbath (The Great He-Goat)

Now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, it shows Satan in the form of a silhouetted goat presiding in moonlight over a coven of disfigured, ugly and terrified witches.[3] It is generally assumed to be a satire on the credulity of the age[4] and a condemnation of both superstition and the witch trials of the Spanish Inquisition. The painting is one of the 14 so-called Black Paintings[5] executed in oil directly onto the plaster walls of his house, Quinta del Sordo, during 1820-1823. Witches' Sabbath, 1821–1823. 140cm × 438 cm, (55 × 170 inches), Museo del Prado, Madrid. Goya withdrew from public life in his later years, likely in disgust at the then social and political trends in Spain following the 1814 restoration of the Bourbon monarchy.

It is thought he viewed a number of developments as reactionary means of social control. The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters (Spanish: El sueño de la razón produce monstruos) is an etching by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya.

The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters

Created between 1797 and 1799,[1] it is the 43rd of 80 etchings making up the suite of satires Los Caprichos.[2] Goya imagines himself asleep amidst his drawing tools, his reason dulled by slumber and bedeviled by creatures that prowl in the dark. The work includes owls that may be symbols of folly and bats symbolising ignorance. The artist's nightmare reflected his view of Spanish society, which he portrayed in the Los Caprichos as demented, corrupt, and ripe for ridicule.[3] The full epigraph for capricho No. 43 reads; "Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters: united with her, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of their marvels.
