When Life Imitates Art

It tends to be somewhate unusual but always interesting when life imitates art.

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.
