Hi! I'm Kaeli, a 15-year-old from Texas with a penchant for obsessively editing other people's spelling and grammar instead of having a social life. I've been lurking on Wikipedia for about a month now and editing as Anonymous, so I decided it was about time for me to create an account. I really like writing, music, and drawing. I have synesthesia (specifically, chromesthenia) meaning that hearing music or sounds causes me to see correlating colors and patterns. I enjoy urban exploration, although there's no good locations near me so I usually end up on urbex forums, instead. I live near NASA and have grown up in an area rich with a healthy, astronomy-centered science program, and I have lots of experience and interest in the field. I have fairly high confidence in my spelling ability and knowledge of various types of music, so that's mostly what I'll be editing on here.
The Abduction of Europa is a 1632 oil-on-panel painting by Rembrandt. One of his rare mythological works, it was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, part of which tells the tale of Zeus's seduction and capture of Europa. The painting shows a coastal scene with Europa being carried away in rough waters by Zeus in the form of a bull while her friends remain on shore with expressions of horror. The use of an ancient myth to impart a contemporary thought and his portrayal of the scene using the High Baroque style are two strong aspects of the work. It was also influenced by Titian's painting of the same subject 70 years earlier, although there are significant differences; Rembrandt's painting is less violent in nature than Titian's. The Abduction of Europa is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in New York City.Painting credit: Rembrandt
My Tumblr is grungefrnk, so please feel free to follow me on there! Also, I'm currently questioning my gender and such, so for now, I would like to try it/its pronouns (example: This is its page. It likes to play music.) This is mostly because I don't feel very comfortable being labeled a boy or a girl, and I have no interest in using neopronouns (xe, hir, nouns as pronouns, etc) or they/them, which I feel has a primary function as a plural pronoun. If you absolutely cannot bear to use it/its, standard female pronouns would work too, I guess. Please feel free to leave me something on my talk page! Thanks!
