Fire! Art pompier!

"And Venus Astarte, daughter of the bitter wave, / Still virgin, shook off her mother's tears / And fertilised the world with the twisting of her hair". These lines were written by Alfred de Musset. Here, they are depicted in image by Amaury-Duval in this representation of Venus – soft, pink and smooth as a sweet!
