Sorry. Otherwise distracted

 

According to the slide

"F Coudray 1678-1727 Louvre"

Yeah.

Bonus : Doom + Mr Blobby

Aug 1973 Abstract Architecture

 

Yes.

Bonus - Three tough cowboys were sitting around the campfire one night, bragging about how fearless and rugged they are.

The first one says: "Just yesterday, I was walking along Dead Man’s Trail when a 12-foot rattlesnake slithered out from under a rock. I grabbed it, bit its head off, and sucked out all the venom. And here I am, still kicking!"

The second cowboy scoffs: "That’s nothing. Last week, I was passing by old Bill’s ranch. A 500-pound bull had escaped and killed Bill, his wife, and three passers-by. I grabbed that bull by the horns, flipped it upside down, and hogtied it so it couldn’t hurt anyone else."

The third cowboy didn’t say a word—he just kept poking the fire with his penis.

Shirley, Enjoing The Sunshine

 

While supping some Bovril from a polystyrene coffee cup.  Glamourous.

Bonus 1 - Marble Sculptures of the Limbs Of Queen Victoria’s Babies

Bonus 2 - 

If I fits...

Think Of The Children !!!!

 

If you're like me, the info written on this slide ( "Cabanel - Nymph and Satyr - Montpellier " ) is unnecessary.

It's clearly a Pierre Cabanel, but I think it's actually Nymph surprised by a satyr 

And I've censored The Naughty Bits.

Bonus - 

Meanwhile, in a back street in Albi...

 

The only info on the slide was "Albi", and immediately my brain started wondering - The Italian One or The French One.

Looking at the slide..."Yeah, that looks like the French Cathedral."

In fact, this seems to be close to the modern view on Streetview.

Also quite interesting, a closer look reveals the restaurant La Case Creole. And that's giving me a hunger for some Jambalaya...

Bonus - 

Oops.

Statue of a Pigeon on a Man on a Horse.

 

Probably some famous pigeon who won a battle, or something, but I don't recognise him.

Bonus - 

Ancient Greek Colonoscopy?

 

Or so it seems.

In fact, the slide identifies this as "Louvre, Puget   Milo de Crotona"

So, in summary:

• The Louvre, Paris - World famous art gallery / art museum.
• Pierre Puget (b. 1620, Marseille, d. 1694, Marseille) French Sculptor
• Milo of Croton - A sculpture by said french marble-basher, depicting
• Milo of Croton - An ancient Greek Wrestler, with more fame and power than any grappler from WWE.

Bonus - The Death of Milo of Croton.

The Ancient Greeks typically attributed remarkable deaths to famous persons in keeping with their characters. The date of Milo's death is unknown, but according to Strabo and Pausanias , Milo was walking in a forest when he came upon a tree-trunk split with wedges. In what was probably intended as a display of strength, Milo inserted his hands into the cleft to rend the tree. The wedges fell from the cleft, and the tree closed upon his hands, trapping him. Unable to free himself, the wrestler was devoured by wolves.

Wrestler, Soldier, Athlete, ICon .... and Dumb-Ass.

The Vision: Dante and Beatrice

 

There wasn't much info on this slide, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that this was taken in Wolverhampton Art Gallery, which leans that this is The Vision: Dante and Beatrice by Ary Scheffer.

And it is.

Bonus :

Damn

Party Time at the Perry's.

 

It started off as a rather sedate evening, of sherry, cake and conversation about the church fete, but when Mandy started belting out "Great Balls of Fire"... the evening was about to get frantic.

Bonus - The awesomeness of Concrete.

Bonus 2 - Meeting the neighbour.

Chaudet's Cupid

 

You don't need me to tell you that this is by Antoine-Denis Chaudet. It's obvious from his dexterous wielding of a Dremel multi-tool.

Also, I know that you know that this is his Cupid (I said that in the post title), which was completed posthumously by Pierre Cartellier in 1817.

Looks like Cupid is about to fart

Bonus - Great White Sharks have never been observed mating and it's unknown where, how or when they do it.

Bonus 2 - Seen on a bench in Margate.
