The NT are broadcasting new shows every week for free (!!) to keep everyone going thru the lockdown.
This is an Extra Queer™️ version of Twelfth Night so I had to yell about it.
If you can donate, please do consider it! (Next week is Frankenstein featuring Benedict Cumberbatch if ur into that)

'Dying Niobid' - Giacomo Brogi
Sala della Niobe, Galleria degli Uffizi
The hole in his side could reflect a puncture wound made by a poisoned arrow made by Apollo. The god and his sister goddess, Artemis, killed each of Niobe's children (the Niobids) after she arrogantly compares herself having a greater number than Leto, Artemis and Apollo's mother - a classical example of hubris.
