Pig & Pear

Pig head on an oil painting of a red pear framed by the Golden Godhead carving.

Once upon a time, in the charming village of Pictoria, nestled amidst the verdant meadows and towering cliffs, a peculiar legend echoed. This legend was of the ‘Pig-Headed Pear’, a magical oil painting reputed to have been brushed by the hands of the old gods themselves.

The villagers whispered of the painting’s uncanny allure. The oil painting depicted a succulent red pear, so lifelike it was as if you could pluck it straight from the canvas. A curious contrast lay at its heart: a meticulously painted pig’s head. It was framed by a meticulously carved frame depicting the Golden Godhead, the deity believed to have gifted Pictoria its tranquil beauty.

This painting wasn’t a mere piece of artwork; it was a testament to divine power and intervention, a mystical heirloom that was said to bless the village with abundant harvests, prosperity, and peace.

The story begins with an impoverished painter named Orpheus. Orpheus was known for his unique ability to capture life and beauty on his canvas like no other. Yet, his gift was unappreciated by his fellow villagers, leaving him penniless and on the brink of despair.

One stormy night, Orpheus was visited by a pig. This pig, unlike any other, bore an unusual crimson mark on its forehead resembling the Golden Godhead. Recognizing it as a divine sign, Orpheus took the pig in and cared for it, for he believed that it was a gift from the Golden Godhead itself.

As days passed, Orpheus’ bond with the pig grew, and in return, the pig brought good luck. His life took a turn for the better; he found food when he needed it, his health improved, and his artwork began to garner attention and praise.

In a token of gratitude to the divine powers that had aided him, Orpheus decided to create a masterpiece. He painted a vibrant red pear, the symbol of abundance and wealth, on his canvas. However, he found the painting incomplete and unfulfilled. One day, while observing the pig, an idea sparked in his mind. He decided to paint the pig’s head onto the pear, symbolizing the union of earthly life and divine blessing.

Once he finished, he realized he had no suitable frame for his masterpiece. It was then that the pig trotted towards him, bearing a golden object in its mouth. It was an ornately carved frame of the Golden Godhead. With tears in his eyes, Orpheus framed his painting.

Upon unveiling his masterpiece, the villagers were astounded by the surreal beauty of the Pig-Headed Pear. They hailed it as a divine sign, and soon, prosperity showered upon Pictoria.

Thus, the legend of the Pig-Headed Pear came to be, and till this day, it is said that the Golden Godhead watches over Pictoria, guarding its charm and prosperity through the painting of the Pig-Headed Pear. As for Orpheus, he lived the rest of his life in harmony with the pig, celebrated as a chosen artist by the gods themselves.
