Engaged in a fiery dance, their bodies were linked and seperated by the flashing blades.

Image
The spectator, as he walks the gallery, will stop, or pass along. To give a general air of grandeur at first view, all trifling, or artful play of little lights, or an attention to a variety of tints is to be avoided a quietness and simplicity must reign over the whole work, to which a breadth of uniform and simple color will very much contribute.
Joshua Reynolds
Image
It is through the acceptance of a variety of aethetic and intellectual points of view that a culture is given breadth and density.
