Detail from Pagan Gods: Astarte
Sargent, John Singer, 1856-1925 · [ca. 1890–1895]
Detail depicting Astarte, the goddess of sensuality. Notable are her thinly-painted blue robes over the bodies of entrapped female figures. Her jewels represent some of the mural cycle's 600+ elements of raised relief; these ones sparkling in metal and glass.
