"Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan" Ballpoint Pen on Paper Bag

 Real Slow day at work :3

I got super bored at work. like nobody really shows up on Saturday nights so I just had a ton of spare time after doing all my side work. and I just decided to study one of my fav paintings. a brutal piece "Ivan the terrible and his son Ivan" though it is violent in nature it shows the true remorse and regret of actually taking human life

Just to see the lack of emotion in the sons eyes compared to the shock in the fathers eyes. its a fucking brutal piece. I like it cause it shows violence along with the emotions attatched to death therefore not glorifying it. unlike paintings of glorious war where humans are slain. Ivan killing his son shows the true meaning of ending human life. though every person is just like ivans son with purpose emotion and life it only matters to Ivan when it its his own son in his arms dying.
