Painted Lady: Muse or Mistress

in

Artists through the centuries have succeeded in adding to our imaginative vocabulary of female beauty – the richly colored paintings of the muse has its own glamour, a direct experience for the senses – but at times – with hints of scandal and eroticism as an obvious aspect of the experience.
