Thanks a lot for the kind words Padma. You are right, it is very interesting to see how a small thing like that can be a big inspiration.

Very Interesting Post! i am impressed by the comparison between “winged victory of Samthrace” and “Kate winslet’s pose of Titanic”.Actually it throws light on the fact that how a very small spark sown in a creative mind by seeing this type of paintings is enough to portray a lovely everlasting pose on the Big Screen.
One more interesting point is that,even painters couldn’t escape the grip of typical Human psychology…David’s highlight of one of the Napolean’s sisters(his lover) )..Thank you Sukumar for such a lovely post!

Thanks Ganesh. Yes Raft of the Medusa is a great painting. We didn’t spend too much time in the Egyptian section. i guess that is for the next time.

Pretty cool Sukumar. Once again, you and Priya have managed to remind me of my trip to Paris and the Louvre in particular. For some reason which I cannot pinpoint, the “Raft of the Medusa” left a lasting impression on me. And so did Venus de millo. The Egyptian section was awesome too. There you go, you got me all nostalgic again
