this is my current fav artist and my fav painting from her because there's so much to think about with her work.
Some brief thoughts about the artist in general: Towers explores strong tones of femininity and womanhood that are woven with an interesting juxtaposition between various imagery of pleasure and pain. With a surrealistically comforting viewing experience, due to the visually appealing compositions and cohesive color story throughout her body work, the intimacy created between viewer and painting cannot be denied.

I ♡ this painting so much!
She's so pretty! And the rendering is so masterful and fun!
Of Note:
❖ Modeled after the infamous La Maja Vestida by Francisco de Goya
❖ An inscription in the lower right dedicates the painting “To my friend Nadar.” which refers to the photographer, caricaturist, and novelist Félix Nadar

This painting is called Kneeling Nun, by Martin Von Meytens, an Austrian painter who happened to be a protestant. The front of the portrait is the one of a seemingly pious nun who seems to be taking up her duties on prayer, with another nun behind her looking very fixated on...what if we turn the portrait and see what she's looking at?...Oh! Good heavens!
Yep. If you actually look at the reverse of this portrait, you'll see a complete image exposing another perspective that suddenly parodies the catholic devotion, having the painting turn into a sapphic tale. As a catholic, I gravitate naturally towards everything that's ironic and this was just too delicious to ignore.
