I can’t stop thinking about this piece by Cy Twombly made in 1977 as a painting in ten parts inspired by Homer’s Iliad. This one is called The Fire that Consumes All Before It, there are 9 other Shield of Achilles; Heroes of the Achaeans; Vengeance of Achilles; Achaeans in Battle; Shades of Achilles, Patroclus, and Hector; House of Priam; Ilians in Battle; Shades of Eternal Night; Heroes of the Ilians.

Classical pianist by accident, thinker by choosing, artist by destiny

wow, cy twombly really knew how to capture the chaos of the iliad! that piece is like pure energy on canvas. 🔥 wish i could see it in person!
