I sat here for a good five second wondering what atrocities this picturesque field had committed.
Maybe it was painted in an area that later contained atrocities?
Your eyes are too well adjusted to life in the shadow of nature’s sin. Humans have not existed for long enough for any atrocity against them to match the suffering that even the small area of land shown here has bore witness to across the eons.
could be dude just hates windmills
staring across the field, narrowing eyes
gonna get that fucking giant this time, Sancho
I think I know why:
Maybe, dutch tulips were the first major example of a capitalist luxury market and bubble collapse? “never again (liberalism)”?
jfc it’s invoking the peaceful fields of the low countries as an implicit contrast to the tragic brutality of WWI which is to be understood as a “white civil war”
