@stebedoughnut This is the first painting that comes to mind, The Threatened Swan by Jan Asselijn. Probably not my favorite but I just remember seeing it for the first time as a kid in the Rijksmuseum and being awestruck

"And cried, homesick for his fair native lake:
"Rain, when will you fall? Thunder, when will you roll?"
I see that hapless bird, that strange and fatal myth"
(Baudelaire)
🎨 Jan Asselijn (c 1650)

The swan defends its nest against a dog (on left). Later treated as an allegory of Johan de Witt’s defence of his country. De Witt was assassinated in 1672.

Botober AI prompt day 17: Dangerous Swans. This one was easy because that’s just how swans really are. Thanks and apologies to Jan Asselijn whose art I shamelessly plundered. #botober #botober2021 #swans #demogorgon #threatenedswan #aiweirdness #stoplookingatmeswan

I’m a big fan of animal art and the rendering of this swan is amazing.
