Neil Pardington - Home

Over a hundred images by photographer and designer Neil Pardington. The ones that grabbed my attention are images of hospital operating rooms, which were featured on But Does It Float (http://butdoesitfloat.com/96582). Someone posted a link to this on Twitter but I forget who.

Goya's black paintings

A collection of images of Goya's so-called "black paintings," which he painted al secco (i.e., fresco) style onto the walls of his private residence between 1820 and 1824 (he died in 1828). It seems likely that he never intended for anyone outside his very private circle (if indeed anyone other than himself) to see them. They're extremely disturbing, dark, surreal, and violent.

Goya | The Black Paintings (E.E. Weems)

A collection of images of Goya's so-called "black paintings," which he painted al secco (i.e., fresco) style onto the walls of his private residence between 1820 and 1824 (he died in 1828). It seems likely that he never intended for anyone outside his very private circle (if indeed anyone other than himself) to see them. They're extremely disturbing, dark, surreal, and violent. This site also has extensive resources (including high-quality, watermarked reproductions) for other parts of Goya's oeuvre.
