A work of art can depict many things, document many historical events, tell many stories and in a lot of cases shed light or provide us with a fleeting glimpse into the lives of the artists themselves.
How much passion, guilt, or betrayal is there depicted through out history in the art world, for example many of the greats were known or believed to have used their lovers or mistress’s in their works.
It has often been suggested that Flora, one of Titians more poetic images of a provocative young women,was in fact his mistress Cecilia, whom he finally married in 1525.

This is a great post! I never really thought about the art and the design process like that before. For me it has always been so automatic. I have created what has come to me without really thinking about why. Interesting read! Nice work!
