Belle would teach Transfiguration
Flora, Fauna and Merryweather would teach Defence Against the Dark Arts
Rafiki would teach Ancient Runes
The Evil Queen would teach Potions

was doing some research on The Fall of Ixion by Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem (what a ridiculous name) just now in conjunction with a print in a series of the same title by Hendrick Goltzius — whereupon I came across this exquisite painting by Jules-Élle Delaunay (1828-1891) and I couldn’t look away. it’s what I imagine Bernini’s Laocoon and His Sons merged with Henri Fuseli’s The Nightmare would look like; and then have Caravaggio paint it. so yummy.
art history, I love you.
