Dying Gaul (Dying Trumpeter) Marble, c.. 220 BCE. Roman copy of Greek bronze original.

Things to think about when studying:

• What artistic period is this from?
• Which elements of the sculpture are indicative of that period?
• This sculpture was super popular - how did people demonstrate how much they liked it?

I don’t remember the first two but I do remember that people copied it endlessly and that seeing this sculpture was part of a “grand tour” of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Oh and Napoleon stole it.

Also, this happened:

John DeAndrea (American, born 1941), Dying Gaul , 1984, polyvinyl and polychrome with pigment. On display at the Portland Art Museum

Note how the most important facet of this story is not how she swam out and physically saved two people from drowning in a riptide at the risk of her own life, but that during the course of heroic physical activity in an outfit not designed for it, a tit slipped out.

Really? A nipple? A nipple made an appearance when she was dragging her son and a woman twice her size out of strong currents?

WELL HOLY SHIT, STOP THE MOTHER FUCKING PRESS

And also using the word “suffers” like this is some huge tragedy.  People suffer from things like hunger, illness, fatigue, poverty, suffering is a serious thing.  Body parts simply existing is not something anybody “suffers” and clothing momentarily not covering a body part is not somehow some serious thing.  This is not suffering.

Not… the Onion…?

Okay, seriously. What was the name of this book.

I remember reading it all the time as a kid, and now it completely escapes my mind

I couldn’t remember either, so I googled “sparkly fish kids book,” which were apparently perfect search terms. It’s called “The Rainbow Fish.”
