Beauty from the past: talk about dramatic atmosphere! The contrast between her pale body and the dark, occult surroundings is striking. She is the “Bride of Belus”, heroine of Henri Paul Motte (1846-1922). The French painter imagined that Belus aka Bel was a Babylonian god and that the most beautiful women of the city had to spend one night on the statue’s lap. Quite scary! Would you give it a try?
