This was meant to be on the post below

(this is actually on the post below but i must have changed the writing to black so it wont show up unless its highlighted...i hope it still counts as a post, because it is actually there.)

In recent years, Sickert's name has been connected with Jack the Ripper. Sickert himself was interested in the crime and believed that he had lodged in the room used by the infamous serial killer having been told this by his landlady, who suspected a previous lodger. He painted the room, entitling it "Jack the Ripper's bedroom," portraying it as a dark, brooding, almost unintelligible space. (on the right hand side)
