@coriander@elekk.xyzStarry Night is probably just as overused as the Mona Lisa in terms of like public consumption
But Starry Night is really fucking good so it's a lot harder to be mad about it
™ supreme goblin @corianderI'm a hater a lot of the time but I can't bring myself to be a hater about Starry Night
™ supreme goblin @corianderI am a hater about the Mona Lisa tho
Boring ass painting
™ supreme goblin @corianderI feel like every other Extremely Famous Work Of Art at least has some technical and/or artistic quality that makes it so noteworthy and then there's the Mona Lisa which is just a tiny portrait of a lady
@coriander it's a great painting!
@coriander "But there's so much scholarship about it! So many people know about it!"
That does not mean it is inherently of a higher quality than another painting, just that it is so well known that it is known for being known.
@coriander wasn't it not even that renowned until it was stolen, or is that an exaggeration I have been fed?
™ supreme goblin @coriander@IntrepidVector I believe that is true
@coriander yeah, a quick search supports it
so yes, a just okay painting lifted up by its backstory!
@coriander goblinfan can't appreciate a tiny lady :(
™ supreme goblin @coriander@heatherhorns_lite I love a tiny lady, just ask @amy
@coriander It mostly got famous outside the art history world because it got VERY famously heist'd from the Louvre in 1911.
Buck wild and very funny story, honestly. It got stolen by an Italian who believed the French had no right to possess the works of da Vinci.
@coriander true and correct on both counts
@coriander nobody complains about 
™ supreme goblin @coriander@Lady another excellent example
