You know a painting is good when it looks like it's glowing.

[KiyaNChrist]

This feels more accurate than him being a sassy red man with horns

[oahghbo]

The lighting work here is phenomenal. Shows that things don't have to be realistic or fully detailed to be frightening. I think the haziness of it elevates it, actually.

[draketerry]

The ice cold passionless stare of this painting is extremely effective. Not even depicting the devil as "a wolf trying to steal sheep" but simply a force who must destroy you because of the hate that he is made of

[adedow]

It's always in the eyes. The lack of irises is rather disconcerting

[niisan]

I love the painter depicts lucifer as just a human but also emits inhumane presence to himself

[ramenseller]

The artist did a phenomenal job, despite being so old the painting still glows, wonder how phenomenal it looked when it was freshly painted

[viddythehat]

why were painters from 1700-1800s so phenomenal?

we even had van gogh and monet

[Carriedteamavatar]

Lucifer is a former angel and the angels had to say “do not be afraid.” If this is Lucifer depicted as a human which is already terrifying. I’m even more terrified to imagine his true form.

[Proviamoli]

I truly love how you can combine the perfect music with your contents. Like this, never heard before, but just resonates so perfectly...

[legodenmark]

Theres so much history shes never gon run outta content

[channieeee]

honestly blows my mind how artists back then were able to capture such crazy emotions in just the eyes. i swear, those eyes are looking at me right over the comments.

[askaikaz]

imagine waking up at night, and seeing this painting staring at you

[boredflower]

Song: ночь темна Baba Yaga Team
Really annoying when content creators don't credit songs in the description.

[MGMG-lcfe]

What is more terrifying than realizing the most feared monster is a man? The fragments of light play across the image, leading your glance toward retinal radiance, that could stop your blood. If only we had such governments. Profound selection as always most appreciated Ms. Mae ✨

[_.-Skitterbug-._]

Idk if im the only one, but it looks like hes comforting a little girl and staring down whose responsible

[pam_anderson]

Unnerving. The accompanying music is beautiful, too.

[treykellypodcast]

I genuinely couldn’t even look that painting in the eyes

[nehabhele]

One look and you feel like you have actually seen the fallen angel in real. His eyes tell you so much yet his posture is of great comfort. A painting like this will always haunt you.

INCREDIBLE! Love your stuff Mae! Blessings to you ALWAYS sweet girl! 💜💜💜
