Art Nouveau Dancer

Salome (1906). Another version by the German Symbolist and Art Nouveau painter Franz von Stuck (1863-1928).

Old Symbols still working

A Poster of the tv-series Desperate Housewives uses the old symbol of the apple which automatically includes seduction, the serpent and so on. That the housewives are dressed in red and black these old demonic colours isnt't surprising.

Opulent Feast

Lot and his daughters by the Dutch Mannerist Painter Abraham Bloemaert (ca.1564-1651). It's surprising all that stuff they saved from burning Sodom.

Hard working Ruth

Ruth gleaning in a medieval illumination. That she's the most hard working is demonstrated because she alone is on her knees,

Cool Judith

Judith (c. 1630-35) by the Italian Baroque painter Massimo Stanzione (1586-1656). That's a really cool reduced painting nearly already Classicism.

Susanna and the Elders

Susanna and the Elders (1610) by the Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 – c.1653).

Beautiful Esther

Joan Collins as Esther in the Film Esther and the King (1960). It's sex and crime what's selling now from the old Bible stories.
