King Cambyses learned of the bribe, accused Sisamnes, and had him arrested and punished, but by no ordinary punishment. The punishment was as creative as it was cruel:</p> <p>King Cambyses slit his throat and flayed off all his skin and he strung the chair, on which Sisamnes had used to sit to deliver his verdicts, with these thongs.</p> <p>Cambyses’s creativity did not stop there. To replace Judge Sisamnes whom he had killed and flayed, Cambyses appointed Sisamnes’s son, Otanes, as the new judge. Cambyses warned Otanes to bear in mind the source of the leather of the bench upon which he would sit to hear evidence, deliberate, and deliver his decisions.</p> </blockquote> <p>- <a href="http://mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/judgement-of-cambyses-and-the-flaying-of-sisamnes-by-gerard-david/" target="_blank">My Daily Art Display</a></p> </blockquote>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50888395108http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50888395108Mon, 20 May 2013 01:37:43 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c1c9ea1b662998a0d5d387bd6223ae80/tumblr_mn124tCo891qe2jr2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50786137938http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50786137938Sun, 19 May 2013 00:07:00 -0400me<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0d6f96e951a18390d19eaf19cb7752c1/tumblr_mn11elNq6C1s2nkc5o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0976dd65ab202f66bc8409954e04409f/tumblr_mn11elNq6C1s2nkc5o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nataliakoptseva.tumblr.com/post/50785063756/nataliakoptseva-tumblr-com" target="_blank">nataliakoptseva</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Gustave Moreau</p> <p>The daughters of Thespius</p> <p>with detail</p> </blockquote>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50785803219http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50785803219Sun, 19 May 2013 00:02:52 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/96ef7c12796989aae1e87e8b4d7a2c39/tumblr_mn11n0vMX51s2nkc5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nataliakoptseva.tumblr.com/post/50785403242/nataliakoptseva-tumblr-com" target="_blank">nataliakoptseva</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Gustave Moreau</p> <p>The muses leaving their father Apollo to go and enlighten the world</p> </blockquote>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50785745744http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50785745744Sun, 19 May 2013 00:02:02 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fd8555ff06f6d9d9d4b0fbdef83e05d4/tumblr_mmk67iwnBs1qghk7bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.cavetocanvas.com/post/50135706586/paolo-veronese-dead-christ-supported-by-two" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">cavetocanvas</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/v/veronese/05_1580s/index.html" target="_blank">Paolo Veronese</a>, <em>Dead Christ Supported by Two Angels</em>, 1587-89</p></blockquote>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50135912526http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50135912526Fri, 10 May 2013 22:49:25 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdl9zxW2161qbu4mro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50023685317http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50023685317Thu, 09 May 2013 13:56:47 -0400“And all I loved, I loved alone.”<br/><br/> - <em><strong>Edgar Allan Poe</strong> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sirmerlin.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">sirmerlin</a>)</em>http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50021803133http://1600s.tumblr.com/post/50021803133Thu, 09 May 2013 13:21:16 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8625b7499653880a77b88d9fccd5190f/tumblr_mhupgn1lwk1qgzqnco1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/606103d874d1fd99383fbab7f9ffc0cb/tumblr_mhupgn1lwk1qgzqnco2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b2f0a4c874dbfc3777357ef6b2f5994b/tumblr_mhupgn1lwk1qgzqnco3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5cdad10dd87d44d60f26983e5691a3f5/tumblr_mhupgn1lwk1qgzqnco4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6d9f449c2389539e8fdfa76f5a43568c/tumblr_mhupgn1lwk1qgzqnco5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e515c5c3ac585167c108b6455b36bf69/tumblr_mhupgn1lwk1qgzqnco6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <div> <div> <p><small><em>“Tangado haid!
