In the 1880s, pointillism was developed by 2 French artists, and used it to paint the landscapes and scenes of their time.
Almost 100 years later, another Frenchman created an image using arguably the same technique, and the object of that image is practically (and I think theoretically?) timeless.
This is all just gently blowing my mind right now.
In the Philippines, it’s Juan and Maria dela Cruz, although those have fallen out of use due to the popularity of Western (aka US) culture. Interesting reading about every country’s own names for their everyman.
