It's a painting of a woman floating, being pleasured by three people (possibly angels) and looking like she's having a lovely time. I think the title is something to do with sin or a fallen woman or something. I think it did the rounds on twitter a while ago.

I was telling someone about it, but now can't find it on Google.

Help me.

Was meant to be a link to this article FFS. I'll argue with myself in a minute.

Neilsfavouritechilli · 31/12/2022 12:22

But that's not the one the poster means :-D

TrentCrimm · 31/12/2022 12:22

I think you'll find it's this one.

Don't bother arguing, I've reverse searched it and everything, and I don't even know why you think it's titled 'Nudey man on Duck', it's clearly a swan.

What's the name of this painting?

I've reverse searched it and @FrankTheCondor is right. Given that it's called 'Soul being carried to heaven' and is classified as a religious painting, no idea why the OP thinks the woman is being pleasured by the angels.

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain I hope now you can see why I thought the woman was being pleasured in the painting.....the actual one I was thinking of, not the one you image searched from my mind!

Wow - imagine having that hung on your wall. Do you think the woman of the house got the same treatment!?

Willmafrockfit · 31/12/2022 12:28

cursed is not how i would describe it

Tunnocksmallow · 31/12/2022 12:29

If that’s being cursed, I don’t wanna be saved!

Pixiedust1234 · 31/12/2022 12:31

I'm sorry OP, but this is the funniest thread I've read in a long time. And its brought back lovely memories of the athena print too . Cheers! Gin

I need that piece of art called "Nudey man on duck"

BellePeppa · 31/12/2022 12:33

Are you planning on hanging a copy above your fireplace 😳

MrsVeryTired · 31/12/2022 12:35

This thread is fab! Thanks OP and others @TrentCrimm Xmas Grin

I love your user name so much.

Also, I KNEW it was going to be the Cursed Woman before I opened the thread but I don’t know how and I wish I could have the same feeling about lottery numbers or something HELPFUL.

Look closely - Wings of Love is in this photo of the Happy Mondays but must be a reverse print as the sitting woman is on the left

TwoMonthsOff · 31/12/2022 12:42

woman should be on left !

viques · 31/12/2022 12:45

Anyone else puzzled why the two pictures on this thread of the lucky cursed woman are so different, in style, not content. There must be more of this cursing going on than I realise.

Op did put three people (possibly angels?)

Theimpossiblegirl · 31/12/2022 12:56

This thread is hilarious, a perfect example of how some posters will argue over anything. The internet version of starting a fight in an empty room.

Love the painting though, she looks like she's having a great time being cursed!

Well something is well hung, or not as the case may be

WeDontNeedToTalkAboutJamie · 31/12/2022 12:57

So, how would one go about getting cursed? Asking for a friend of course.

MumofHorace · 31/12/2022 13:00

Octave Tassaert also painted The Jealous Cat.

Came through <smirk>

Love this thread, esp the reverse image in someone's head being searched on the internet Grin

There's no mistaking what's happening here 🤣

The Jealous Cat image confused me as I initially thought there were two separate men in it!
