That title sounds so naughty...

Anyways, at long last, this is the latest. The famous bust of the Egyptian queen Nerfertiti, [link] , Shego-fied.

Fun fact- When this bust was completed, it was considered too beautiful, and they were afraid it would offend the gods, that humans were able to challenge their divine beauty. As a result, the painter left one eye partially painted, to serve as a flaw.

I just studied this piece in my Art Appreciation class. Seeing it with Shego makes me happy!

I took two courses of art history. And I found that any post-renaissance art isn't worth appreciating. My faves were always Bernini and Bouguereau. How about yours?

As Yul also said...

...Dammit, I can't think of a good quote. Pretty much anything he said in The Magnificent Seven.

This Nefertiti bust now in the Berlin Museum was found buried in Amarna, Egypt a century ago. An alternate explanation is that it was deliberately defaced by iconoclasts when the Aten cult was overthrown during the New Kingdom.

Yeah, but I like the first explanation. It's much more flattering to the piece.

I've seen this one in Berlin.
Nefertiti remains the perfect beauty for me to this day.

Shego is a worthy contestant however. :)

We just need to find time to take a good, long European vacation. Hit the British Museum in London, The Louvre, Ufizzi, on and on.

Haha, if this is what Egyptian art looked like, it would be even more fun!
