    Now that is a funny coincidence. I ran across that picture the other day while searching for material for my loosely-related Death and the Maiden project.

    Interesting project,

    More coincidences - TYWKIWDBI also had the Andromeda painting last fall

    Lots of maidens in distress at the primary source for the lattter.
