I saw this picture a while back, however after reading through the comments section it looks like it was a photoshopped image. When I landed in Paris a few years back, I tried my hand at taking a picture of the Eiffel Tower. But obviously no flight paths go near it, and also the weather was fairly foggy so this was the best I got. After seeing the photoshopped one, I couldn’t help but make this comparison.
Just as tempting as holding onto the one ring to rule them all, so was the urge to gently kick a door stopper whenever I saw one. Just a thought when I saw this meme years ago.
I was flipping through my France pictures the other day and I completely forgot that I found the original painting of an antiquated internet meme while I was wandering through the Louvre. I must’ve had quite the laugh since I took a photo of it and not of many other great pieces in the museum. For those curious, this is a self portrait of Joseph Ducreux and is titled “Portrait de l’artiste sous les traits d’un moqueur”. As you can tell, he was renowned for the wild expressions on his subject’s faces.
