The Queen of the Renaissance

Take a trip ,if you will, to the Uffizi galleria in Italy. Demonstrated there are perhaps the finest examples of High Renaissance art - complete mastery of form, colour, proportion, light and shade. A beautiful display of spatial harmony made real by the masters of the time : Raphael, Tintoretto, Leonardo, Michelangelo. Each true genius at its undeniable peak with ability to construct physical perfection for all to see.

Perhaps take a shorter trip to the Cheshire plain. Probably less distance but no less culturally rich. There you may find, if you are fortunate, a true beauty the equal of all Florence's riches. A masterpiece of classical, golden proportion. Madam Raison D'être. No mere two dimensional image she. Kneeling before her witnessing her splendour is something to behold. A living work of art of Renaissance quality. Totally undiluted, pure femininity.

Make no mistake she is no 'nouveau riche' pretender of the modern era who has just acquired the correct attire. As in the works of the Renaissance masters true class shines through, it has a profound bearing all of its own. Her face so striking. The eyes thereon so intelligent. Her décolletage so perfect leading the eye down over her slender figure to the most exquisite legs: long, sensuous anatomical perfection. Exactly the sort of visual faultlessness personified by true classic art.

Madam - your beauty beguiles me, what can i do to honour you?
