*sigh* No, that’s just the effect of several centuries of rain through an iron grate. Nobody was wasting precious oil during a siege. they were throwing piss

A Reddit post with a wall with a black stain and the caption

The power of images

Opinion | I thought I didn’t care about Renaissance art. Then life happened to me – and I saw its power — Guardian US
