Marpessa


I love this photograph by Ferdinando Scianna. I think that this young woman is one of the most gracious things I've seen since Canova's The Three Graces

    ruben's graces are a bit too "supersizeme" perhaps?

    What about botticelli's? I've never heard about Canova's.

    Which photographers do you like best?

    “I do not think I can change the world with my photographs, but I do firmly believe that a bad picture can make it worse.”
