left to right: Whenever I look at this photograph it often reminds me of the painting below by the 19th Century French Impressionist Edouard Manet. His 1863 canvas "Luncheon on the Grass" (Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe) originally titled " Le Bain" (The Bath) is one of Manet's most iconic images along with the beautiful "Olympia" painting completed the same year. Comparing the two, the photograph and the painting, one can feel a transforming sense of calm and pleasure persisting in both.
