There's a painting at the Louvre that depicts a naked man being taken
away to hell by demons while his wife watches on. The horror in the
man's face is so vivid it gives me the chills. Does anyone know the
name of it or can point me to a web site that shows it? I have searched
to no avail. If I'm correct, it's located on the same floor as
Jacques-Louis David's The Crowning of Napoleon.

Thanks!

Perhaps the originator of the "larger women's" designer
jeans that prompted a lawsuit by Jordache, when they first
came on the market?

Whatever the poster is up to, the answer, which perhaps he/she/it
was looking for is this: A naked man taken to hell while his wife
watches?... Ah, the story of my life, esp. when the credit card bills
arrive.

For me it's someone announcing that she has a less than dainty posterior.
If I had a less than dainty posterior, I wouldn't announce it. Even if I
was a troll.

Have you ever seen Rodin's statue "The Kiss"? That represents the
famous lovers. He was her brother-in-law. One day they were reading
together a romance, maybe the romance of Tristan and Iseult (I can't
remember) and suddenly they were overcome with passion. One thing led
to another until they were caught by her husband, Paolo's brother, and
killed.

There is a castle in Gradara, on a hilltop near Cattolica, where they
were supposedly killed. The castle is very large and can be seen from
the autostrada. However, it has been mostly reconstructed with very
little attention to historical realities.

No luck there - the carillon is being repaired.

If they're Italian, they're "oogling".

No, it was Francesca who was the full-figured one.

I wouldn't blame the poster. My mailbrowser is showing me 5-6 copies of
everything.
