John William Waterhouse - St Eulalia


1885
Tate Gallery
Notice the very clever and unusual composition, placing the corpse of the 12 year old saint straight in yiour face so to speak. The dove represented her soul winging its way to heaven.

The actual horrific unimaginably depraved real life incident was gruesome unprovoked unwarranted and most positively undeserved. This was a sweet pure of heart angel of a little girl who thought of others in every ounce of her energy her daily thoughts and actions well into the night and first to rise in the morning was to show great kindness and sacrificing her own meals to feed to the starving. She was the epitome of purity and what was done to this innocent pure most loving kind and unselfish child was beyond sadistic ... The countless relentless torturing and slaughtering of this little one speas so unforgivable we of this century trust that God himself kicked in the teeth of every single man who had his master Satans agenda to fulfill that God as promised kicked in those undeserving slithering worms those piles of excrements on the it last day back then and still today and eternally will be weeping and gnashing their teeth because they fulfilled the desires of their masters evil.
