    Origin

    No Caption Provided

    Dorian Gray was a young man obsessed with youth, opulence, and the decadence of late 19th century Victorian era London - driving him to make what he believed was a futile wish, shouting to the sky that he wished to remain young forever and have a painting created by his closed friend, Basil Howard, age in his stead. When his impulse wish was granted, Gray celebrated the positive and cursed the negative consequences.
