- 1558 - Thomas Kyd, author of The Spanish Tragedy (d. 1594)
When one researches the history of horror[1], one always encounters the revenge tragedy, featured because of its cruelty. In the 1580s, an incredible series of gruesome plays are performed on the stages of England.
- An example of the gruesomeness of revenge plays: "Enter the empress's sons with Lavinia, her hands cut off, and her tongue cut out, and ravished." --stage-direction to Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.
The Spanish Tragedy (d. 1594) by Thomas Kyd is an exemplary and one of the earliest items in the history of the revenge play.
Thomas Kyd is also an icon in the history of prosecution. He was put on the rack for allegations of heresy.

Jean Rollin constitutes a decisive chapter in the book Immoral Tales: European Sex & Horror Movies 1956-1984 and discovering him has been a delight. But do not expect too much of his films. Seeing Jean Rollin films has been an underwhelming experience for Jahsonic.

Rollin is a very interesting documentalist (see his work for Jean-Pierre Bouyxou's Fascination and Eric Losfeld's Midi Minuit Fantastique) and connoisseur of Gaston Leroux and all literature of what he calls « second rayon ».

Jahsonic did enjoy a short film by Rollin of which he can't remember the title.
Calling Rollin connoisseurs.
I am looking for the title of the following film:
- Filmed from the perspective of a painter. Looking at a model. She is a African woman with long and golden nails?. The background music is art music. Estimated date of release: late sixties or early seventies.
Anyone?
