Without being asked to take this pose, my model, kuba, positioned himself in what I instantly recognized as the model's pose from the 'young male nude' by hippolyte flandrin but I doubt it was kuba's intention to recreate this classic painting. A wonderful coincidence and an equally beautiful image.
The painting and more particularly the pose of the young man has become an icon of homoeroticism. To see the original, simply scroll your mouse over the photo.
This photograph stops me dead in my homoerotic tracks. I'm gobsmacked and otherwise lost for words. Bill in Edmonton
