The illness of Antiochus

At this time of year, I like to get into reading, history, art history, knitting - indoorsy things like that. I saw this painting on an Instagram site I follow, and wanted to share it. I love how you can look at a piece of art, like this one, and be drawn to it, and then follow it to discover its story. It's like it pulls you in a different realm.
