"sacred-idyllic nude (large)" "Sacre-idillica" refers to a common motif in the decorative painting of ancient Rome; usually a lone figure in a landscape w/a small temple, thus sacred and idyllic. I like the contrast between the melodramatic, near tragic dance pose and the fact that we are (hopefully) aware it's just a pose. if not we are in deep trouble!

Materials used:
