TIL that a Roman prostitute named Marozia not only was the mistress of one pope, but her bastard son, two grandsons, two great grandsons, and one great great grandson all eventually became popes. The era in which they ruled is known by scholars as the “pornocracy”.

Gerald Edward Moira (1867‑1959)

The Silent Voice

In “The art of Gerald Moira” from 1922 Harold Watkins describes the painting:
“The first picture, an imaginative figure-piece, was founded on these lines:
‘Thereto the silent voice replied,
Look up, look up – the world is wide.’ and showed a remarkable ability in the painter to take a given conventional subject and interpret it along his own unconventional lines. There is a quality in the picture which was well expressed by a critic, writing in the time of its exhibition at Burlington House: ‘In the blue moonlight, close about the dazed and doleful figure of a seated girl, a ‘silent voice’, or half perceived figure, whispers a coming comfort. Weird, haunting, fascinating it is as a page from L’Intruse of Maeterlinck.” – via
