Anonymous said...: Hello Dark Classics,
I was wandering on the Web when I remembered that I had put your website on my favorites. I am particulary amazed by this french painting. This woman seems to be carried by a sort of trance. She looks at something, probably a strange and fascinating vision,that we can not see, and the glass sphere that is in her right hand embodies the weakness of life and love...
"Chimera" is certainly the best word to express the immaterial incarnation of feelings.
I didn't know this painting, neither this painter, so thank for posting it.
