I did discover Roberto Ferri some time ago, but it's good that you've posted them.
I don't think I've seen that first one, the Dream of St Eulalia, it was probably before 2015 that I saw his work.
I like that one very much, very expressive.

Crucified with her glasses still on? Very stilish!
Or her executioner wasn't a member of the Lions Club.

Thanks for the corrections mp5stab, I am not familiar with all your works and that folder was given to me by someone else labeled as yours. I saw your mark on a lot of them but I wonder why the guy labelled the others as yours, just guessing I suppose.

Oldies but goodies, Foggy.
I've been listening to music while I work in isolation. Today I was listening to Kate Bush.
I've posted this here and not in the famous bare ladies thread because Kate has not to my knowledge completely disrobed on camera, though she did wear some revealing outfits in her early days. More to the point, the cover art of her first album The Kick Inside strongly reflected crux imagery, albeit under the guise of a kite.
I am eternally grateful to our own Bob Inder for these sketches that went that step further and imagined a similar figure naked on a cross.
Now, the point of this. I was reminded today of the original video for her hit Running Up That Hill. There is unmistakable crux imagery here, with her crucified on the back of her dance partner.
Watch the video from 1:23 to about 1:35, she even has a sequence where she clearly rises, sags and rises again, the crux dance. Remarkable.

Strike up your fiddle, strum on your lyre,
But why is Nero looking so pissed off?
I’ve set the whole of Rome on fire.
My popularity was down to zero
But now they’ll call me a super-Nero

Still listening now

The women aren't dancing fast enough for his satisfaction. I always wondered why some of the Roman emperors were so unbalanced until I read an article a few years back. The Romans would sweeten their wine with LEAD! Water supply pipes coming from the aqueducts that weren't stone were LEAD!
Opposing viewpoints. But why is Nero looking so pissed off?

*Amber* Digging way back into the vault this lady has probably had more manips done of her than most others. While we try to find a photo hosting site to serve our needs I thought I would upload these smaller sized pics. These are the originals that I downloaded when I belonged to her Yahoo group. Glad I got these because one day I came back to log in and the group was gone. I had heard a while back that Amber was having some health problems and I really don't know what happened to her. She was however a grand lady of the cross.

*Amber* 3 That's all of the outdoor crux pics that were in her groups files. I have all the "Chamber of the Bells" indoor torture pics too and I'll get them up later after things are working better for the forum.

Not quite correct. The Romans were 'cutting' not sweetening their wine with water (which of course was delivered in lead pipes). They considered you a barbarian if you drank your wine straight because you got drunk a lot faster if you didn't cut it. And while the Romans liked their wine they were kind of turned off by drunkenness because you lost your manners when you were drunk.
However consider this, a study not too many years ago on modern CEOs found that the vast majority of them are sociopaths. So you are now a sociopath, who was also a victorious general (as most were) ruling the world with almost unlimited powers amid incredible wealth. Ruling in a time when life was incredible cheap.
We should probably be more surprised at the number of capable sane men who managed to rise to Emperor.

Very true! One of the greatest!

The Romans used lead in all kinds of things; there's a good chance lead poisoning had a minor part in contributing to the fall of Rome!
Lead Poisoning in Rome - The Skeletal Evidence
A friend alerted me to an IO9 post, " The First Artificial Sweetener Poisoned Lots of Romans ." It's a (very) brief look at some of the use...
