On the left side is the image where my avatar came from. The shape of that man is one of several #PictorialReferences (in an illustration to #LewisCarroll's "#TheHuntingOftheSnark") by #HenryHoliday to #MatthiasGrünewald's paintings (https://snrk.de/how-gustave-dore-might-have-played-with-pareidolia/#wildmen) in the #MuseéUnterlinden in #Colmar, France.

#introduction: A toot by @georgetakei made me aware of the https://univereodon.com instance.

My focus is on Snark hunting (https://snrk.de/snark-mastodon/) and a view at the universe through sound science, but as "the kind of person who enjoys edutainment, reads books, watches science shows and loves to connect with people who view the universe through wonder" I probably will feel quite comfortable here.

One of my favorite paintings. Henry Holiday - Dante and Beatrice.
Dante looking longing at Beatrice while holding his heart and wearing green (the colour of hope? And Beatrice ignoring him.
