That must have been an awkward few hours while they posed for this

lol .... I was just thinking this ....

Painter (smirking, holding back laughter): .... ok, ok, Alexander, hey Al ... yeah .. just give me more of a frown ... (heavily smirking) ... no, no, more angry or sad or something ... and maybe put your hand to your chin ... (smirking) ... yeah like that ... now hold it ... for the next five hours

There's a really interesting video on the Art Deco channel about this painting. It gives a lot of the context around the people in it and the moment it is depicting.

An interesting video, thanks!

Ya, and then he spent pretty much the rest of his life trying to destroy her reputation and disparage women in general. Pope was one of history's first notable incels.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 2 months ago

Maybe "most memorable" because there were actually quite a lot of notable incels before him?

[–] manqkag@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Pretty funny that his last name is Pope in that context lol

CGP Grey makes him out to be a drama whore in general.

thanks for expanding the title

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You know what, I didn't even read the title til you pointed it out

[–] ninja@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That name sounded familiar. This does seem to be the same Alexander Pope that CGPGrey stumbled across and strayed into the, apparently, well documented feud with Thomas Herne.

You referenced CGP Grey and posted a sanitized link.

I am prepared to be best friends.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

I'd rather think they posed for this and were hilarious people

Pretty sure she was already married / had a fiancé when he asked.
