This Painting Isn’t What You Think It Is

Описание: Isabella and the Pot of Basil looks like a quiet painting about love and devotion — until you know what’s hidden in the pot.
The story comes from Boccaccio’s Decameron, later retold in John Keats’s poem Isabella, or the Pot of Basil, which inspired a wave of 19th-century artists.

Painters like William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and other Pre-Raphaelites returned again and again to this single, tender moment — not the murder, not the dream, but the calm that follows. Once you know the story, that calm becomes unsettling.
