 Thais - Leonardo pittore
The face of the Madonna is the largest unfinished part: the eyes not well defined, the smile marked by an incomplete indication of the teeth, her neck scratched
Leaving aside the usual controversies of attribution, one should notice that the painting is unfinished and that it has undergone damage in the transportation form one canvas to the other.
Even the apparent age of the Virgin is innovative as she seems little more than a child herself and it is perhaps for this that she is able to play with her child despite knowing his destiny.

 Amazon.com: The Corset : A Cultural History: Books: Valerie Steele
Steele explores the medical controversies that raged around corseting and tight-lacing, the considerable medical and feminist controversies of both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, fashion history, theories of sexuality and politics, and their inevitable intersection.
(The Madonna, wearing a snug laced-bodice dress, one breast bared for her son, was painted by Jean Fouquet in the fifteenth century.) Men were not immune to their own versions of the corset.
The history, economics, and sociology of the Renaissance corset are discussed, along with the corset's unmistakable relationship to the earlier armor of Rome and the middle ages.

 FLUXEUROPA: CAMILLE PAGLIA
Paglia was catapulted into media stardom when, following publication of her book, Sexual Personae, in 1992, she achieved fame if not infamy with expressions of her admiration for Madonna, and her involvement in bitter public controversies about 'date rape' and the state of academe.
Handsome, sharp and vigorous, exuberant, manic and abusive are just some of the adjectives which can and have been applied to Camille Paglia, the motor-mouthed academic and cultural critic of Italian-American background and 'wavering sexual orientation'.
Difficult to put into a neat, preconceived, pigeon-hole, she has been accused of being both an anti-feminist and a neoconservative, while claiming, herself, to be a genuine libertarian whose cultural critiques have merely upset the feminist party line and the academic gravy train.
