This particular work reminds me to recommend reading "The Birth of Venus," if you get a free moment. A most excellent piece about women, artists and religion in Florence, Italy around the late 1400s. Gives a whole new appreciation to this kind of artwork.

Hugs, if you desire, or sitting over here leaving you alone.

Btw, who did the pic? It looks like that eccentric Hieronymous Bosch.
