"Hades" and "Persephone" by Molli Kellogg Cirino

[skywardprodigal]

In looking at these paintings, which I didn't like upon first or second glance, I was eventually whalopped by the idea that if there is truth to the story, this is one: yes, there was love and longing and that it went two-ways.

Thanks to spiralsheep for the Barbier and the primer on Orientalism.
