Delve into the life of a portraiture in this surreal video where an anthropomorphized piece of canvas seeks to understand the circumstances (re: the painting) from which he cannot remove himself.

Painted by Paul Delaroche in 1833, the soon-to-be fallen maiden is Lady Jane Grey, whose innocence was stolen from her just as quickly as her marriage. Grey bore the title of England’s queen for a mere nine days before her 1554 execution. While he waited 300 years to paint a dramatization of the subject matter, where Delaroche gains in emotional effect he loses in historical accuracy. For example, the snowy queen’s execution did not take place indoors; rather, the open air of Tower Green.

One might think that such an understanding of suburban life could only be accrued with age. However, this stunning glimpse into suburbia is brought to us by a senior in college.
