A singular scene!

Two figures hold or fight over a book (?) while their lower bodies, which take the form of interlaced serpents, bite their genitals.

It is thought this enigmatic early medieval carved stone came from a lost #Pictish church in Murthly, Perthshire.

Christmas Eve, John Everett Millais, 1887. ~ a favourite of mine.
A painting of Christmas Eve, 1887 by John Everett Millais. The painting is a Scottish landscape depicting a view of Murthly Castle in Perthshire, Scotland. The scene captures the midwinter dusk, just as the afternoon light fades into the gathering night. The sky displays dusty pink hues, characteristic of a late afternoon on a short winter day. The foreground is covered in a relatively shallow layer of snow, with visible footprints and cart-tracks, hinting at recent human activity. Several crows are scattered across the snow. Wintered trees also.

#Christmas Eve -John Everett Millais, oil on canvas 1887
A #painting from the #Pre-Raphaelite artist best known for his “Ophelia,“ this depicts a hillside looking towards Murthly Castle wh/is screened by bare trees (see ALT). The #Winter #landscape is overcast w/pinkish-grey clouds. #art
The scene is, indeed, very appropriate for a chilly Scottish winter, with a hillside in the foreground covered in snow. Three black crows appear to be searching for food on the snowy Winter ground, with a fourth crow taking flight off to the right. There are footprints in the snow, here and there - some from the crows, others perhaps from wildlife passing through. But one line in particular appears more like a person may have trekked up the slope, heading towards what may be a break in the stone wall. There are also parallel tracks in the snow which seem to indicate a carriage or cart having crossed up, then curved off to the right of the hillside. This view is from below Murthly Castle -at the top left - a large ancient building partly obscured by the finely wrought bare trees which are closer. Millais’ attention to detail in Nature is very evident here, with trees on the left and on the right hand side of the scene all painted with such realism, showing every intricate branch. Below these trees are the sort of shadowed circles one would expect beneath, where snow has only dusted through the branches, the brown earth underneath each tree visible. The overcast scene is so typical of this time of year: almost dismal, but with a blanket of pinkish clouds moving across the left side of the sky and just a hint of natural glow from an unseen Sun. Off centre, on the horizon, there is another hill and beyond that a ridge line of darker trees. Tonally, there are lots of brown shades amidst the snow, between the trees and the brown earth seen in patches. One can almost feel the chill of Winter in Millais’ “Christmas Eve.” It’s not exactly festive…but it is very much typical of the outdoors in Scotland (and much of the UK) this time of year.~💞

This is my favourite there - Lingering Autumn. There is a bench opposite the painting so that you can sit and soak it in.
Lingering Autumn - I love the bleakness of this painting which shows a child carrying water - in the foreground is the mill stream at Murthly, Perthshire and the River Tay is beyond. Late autumn trees and bleak autumn grasses surround.
