This image features a striking sculpture that captures a dramatic moment. At the top, a muscular figure, likely representing a powerful deity or force, looms with an imposing presence. His robust stance and intense posture suggest an act of strength or defiance, perhaps conveying themes of struggle or triumph.
Below him, another figure reclines gracefully in a more serene pose. This contrast creates a rich narrative tension between strength and vulnerability. The figure appears to be cradling a smaller form, enhancing the sense of protection or nurturing amidst turmoil.
The textures of the sculptures add to the depth of the piece, showcasing intricate details that evoke a sense of realism despite the stylized representations. The monochromatic palette invests the image with a timeless quality, allowing viewers to focus on the emotional weight and dynamics of the scene without the distraction of color.
Overall, the interplay of the figures could suggest a story of conflict, love, or coexistence, inviting contemplation on the duality of human experience. The viewer might reflect on the balance between power and tenderness, evoking a rich tapestry of interpretations based on individual perceptions and emotions.

Paris – Medici Fountain – Acis And Galatea
(Lovers)

One of my favorite places in Paris… I came to read near the basin...

"The Medici Fountain was originally created in the seventeenth century in the Luxembourg gardens for Maria de’ Medici, Queen of France. The romantic fountain is decorated with allegorical statues."

The image showcases a beautifully carved marble sculpture of Acis and Galatea, set against a dark backdrop that amplifies its intricate details. At the center, two figures embrace in an intimate pose, their bodies skillfully rendered to evoke a sense of movement and tenderness. The texture of the marble highlights the play of light and shadow, enhancing the emotional connection between the figures.
The fountain setting adds a serene ambiance, suggesting a moment frozen in time. Water trickles gently around the sculpture, emphasizing a theme of life and continuity. The surrounding architecture, though faint, hints at grandeur and history, lending a timeless quality to the scene.
Interpretively, this sculpture could symbolize love, desire, or the beauty of human connection. The contrast between the softness of the figures and the hardness of the marble might also speak to the enduring nature of love amid the transient aspects of life. Overall, the image invites viewers to reflect on the nuances of passion and permanence.

#Galatea 作者 Madeline Miller

Statues of lovers : Galatea in the arms of Acis at Medicis fountain in Luxembourg Garden, Paris...

So-called ‘lucky’ people tend to have more family, friends, mentors, teachers, etc. that may subconsciously 'expect' more of them and encourage curiosity / achievement.

‘Unlucky’ people may have fewer people giving them encouragement.

These persons perceived as ‘lucky' also somehow seem more enthused towards curiousity and achievement.

Then there are people who purely make ‘luck’ for themselves regardless of their environment with their own expectations.

Million Dollar Marriage. Katy Evans — review
What impressed me about Katy Evans' book? Read on.

I’ve been wanting to read Katy Evans’ book for a long time, because I read something on a similar topic on the #galatea app titled “Journey’s End” and I literally cried with laughter there 🤣
Did Katy Evans’ book delight me as much?

According to Ovid, Galatea the sea-nymph fell in love with Acis, son of Pan, but their relationship was cut short by the cyclops Polyphemus, who also pined after Galatea. In an act of jealousy, Polyphemus hurled a massive rock at Acis, crushing him under it. #LegendaryWednesday

Review of #MadelineMiller's short story #Galatea (2013), bringing the story of the statue brought to life to a satisfying conclusion. #bookstodon https://wp.me/p2oNj1-7bq

The play #Galatea is going to be performed at the #Brighton festival, UK from 5-21 May.

You may have never heard of this play. It was written by John Lyly, Shakespeare's contemporary. It was first performed in 1588 before Queen Elizabeth 1.

This play is a comedy, similar in genre to Midsummer Night's Dream. There are multiple subplots and many charters but the main plot is:

- The God Neptune demands every 5 years that local villagers sacrifice to him the most beautiful virgin
- 2 fathers, independently, fear their daughters could be chosen
- Dads came up with the same plan, dress up the girls as boys and send them to hide in woods
- Girls run into each other, believing each other is a boy & end up falling in love
- The secret is revealed, but the girl still declare a love for each other
- The Goddess Venus grant them a wish & turns on of the girls to a boy

So in how many US states this 535 years old English play can’t be performed if minors are in the audience? 😄
