You don't sound too sure of yourself, perhaps you are being meek. Verify, then boldly proclaim it is Eustache Le Sueur! in which case you would be correct, although, we are also looking for the name of the painting.Quote:

Alessandro Padovanino Varotari - "Venere e Marte sopresi da Volcano"
"Mars and Venus surprised by Vulcan"
The other two paintings are: "Sleeping Venus with Putti" and "Reclining Venus with Cupid"
I figured he was Italian and something from mythology, but that was as far as I got for some time.

Whew… I just spent an inexcusable amount of time perusing Bayros.Quote:

I’ll have the next one after I finish my cold shower.

I first came across the randy Marquis in art school. While working in the library I came upon an old leather bound collection of his intaglio prints which wer far more decadent than anything I'd come across by Schiele, Klimt, Beardsley, or the rest of my decadent favorites. Bayros moved freely in the upper echelon of Viennese society. He actually married the stepdaughter of Johann Strauss Jr. As might be expected, the erotic content of his art raised eyebrows and led to legal problems, Bayros was banished from Vienna for a period and moved to Munich. His legal hassles led him to frequent moves: Paris, Rome, Venice, etc... Upon returning to Vienna at the time of the First World War he felt himself to be an outsider. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1924.
The next Mystery Master is:
Paul Gauguin
Breton Women at the Turn
I might note that whereas Bayros fantasies are rather disturbing, Gauguin's actual sex-capades with underage Polynesian girls (after abandoning his wife and children) are actually more disturbing.
Dali. El Masturbador Pequeno?
joking.
