Being an artsy kid is hard.
@sharkdancer submitted a text exchange and this was the piece that worked for me:
Primavera by Botticelli, painted ca. 1482, vs. the first US cover of The Vampire Armand, published 1998.
WHILE WE’RE ON THIS BOTTICELLI TOPIC. I was thinking about the cover for TVA, and a quick google turned out that was ALSO a Botticelli youth! I don’t know how much input, if any, AR had in this cover design. But it’s a Botticelli so we have to assume whoever pulled the trigger on it knew smtg about AR’s affection for Botticelli, especially as applied to describing Armand.
I tried to put it back into the painting, it had to be flipped twice and rotated a bit…
^IDK about the colors, it does look like the TVA cover made his skin a little rosier, but I’m not sure that Wiki had the right colors for their version. The Wiki article says this person is Mercury.
What does it mean that it was flipped upside down and backwards from its original context? What does the cropping off of the helmet mean? Any other thoughts?
