I love seeing fashion combined with art.
This photo of Paolina Borghese with a shirt is like a modern representation of Paolina Bonaparte.
Who’s this marmoreal lady? Who was she? What was she representing?
The reclining Pauline Bonaparte, sister of Napoleone, has been immortalized by Antonio Canova with an apple in her hand, evoking the Venus Victrix (=winner) in the judgement of Paris where he chose her to settle a dispute between Juno (power), Minerva (arts and science) and her (Venus/love).
Paris chose love.
Paolina has modeled for this luxe Australian brand of shirts, strictly hand made in Italy, because today, a winning woman would be wearing a beautiful shirt, still made as they did in her times.
She is wearing Camixa Magica Shirt.
