Not knowing the term, I asked Brave what "Florinda" means. Lovely painting, by the way.
Florinda is a feminine given name of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin origin, meaning "flower," "blooming," or "flourishing." It is an elaborated form of Flora or Flor, derived from the Latin word flos (flower). The name is culturally associated with beauty, vitality, and nature. In Spanish legend, Florinda la Cava was a legendary figure whose beauty captivated the king and led to the downfall of the Visigothic kingdom.

From Wiki...
"[Florinda] La Cava was the daughter (or in some early accounts, wife) of Count Julian, a figure whose historicity is doubtful.[1] According to the earliest Arabic accounts, he was the Christian governor of Ceuta under the last Visigothic king, Roderic, a figure whose historicity is certain."

"She was either seduced by King Roderic, becoming his lover, or abducted by him and raped. In some versions, the king is depicted spying on her while she bathed in a garden. In others, she is the seducer.

‘The picture depicts the legend of King Roderic of Spain spying on Florinda la Cava and the other palace girls while they bathe in a garden in Toledo, in order to decide the fairest. After Roderic selects and courts Florinda, her father takes revenge by inviting the Moors to invade and conquer Spain.’

Looking at some of Winterhalter's many portraits, this follows his typical approach: smooth (presumably natural), flawless skin tones against harder detailed backgrounds. That technique really allows the people's faces, and in this case their bodies, to shine and catch the viewers eyes. It is effective. In this painting the emphasis on facial expression takes a back seat to the poses of the women's bodies. Winterhalter often did portraits of royalty with the symbols of their power. He had to go back to a Spanish folktale to make the nudity acceptable.

The MET
Title: Florinda Artist: Franz Xaver Winterhalter (German, Menzenschwand 1805–1873 Frankfurt) Date: 1853 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 70 1/4 x 96 3/4 in. (178.4 x 245.7 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Bequest of William H. Webb, 1899 Posted by: r hennigantx at August 21, 2026 09:56 AM (/+uur) 97
This painting depicts an episode from the legend of Roderick, the last king of the Spanish Visigoths. After spying on his maids of honor to determine the fairest among them, the king chose Florinda (at center left), who became the object of his love. In revenge, Florinda's father called the Arabs into Spain and brought about the conquest.

Interesting that something so relatively recent is practically mythology with only Rodrick known to have actually existed. Early middle ages often lacks good documentation and having a Muslim horde sack the realm immediately after makes things worse. Roderick didn't rule over happy nobles so some theorize he might have in fact seized the throne illegitimately which may by why Julian would have been eager to move against him instead of wanting his daughter to be married to him Posted by: 18-1 at August 21, 2026 10:06 AM (sKqQm) 118

Florinda, signed and dated 1852
Franz Xaver Winterhalter rct dot uk: The legend of the eighth-century Visigothic king Rodrigo of Hispania tells how Rodrigo’s seduction of the beautiful maiden Florinda ('La Cava') initiated the Arab conquest of Spain. In this scene Florinda (centre left) and her companions, all draped to varying degrees in luxurious Indian silks, prepare to bathe in the grounds of the castle near Toledo where she lives, unaware that they are being watched by King Rodrigo who hides in the bushes nearby. Rodrigo falls violently in love and seduces Florinda, to the anger of her father, Count Julian, who secretly meets with the Moors and encourages them to invade Spain. In the subsequent war Rodrigo is killed in battle by the invaders, who subject the country to their rule for two hundred years. (More) Not familiar with the German painter and lithographer. He seems to have many lovely art pieces. Thanks Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 21, 2026 10:07 AM (NFX2v) 126

>>> A new freakout on the left is the bond market. Get this the yield on the 10 yea is in the 4.7s. The end of the world man. They’re seriously saying the US economic dominance is over.
Oh never mind that during Biden’s years it touched the 4.9s. Oh and in the 70s it hit double digits of course. But 4.7, yeah end of the empire bro.

Speaking of YT, by the way, my sister saw one purporting that many diagnosed with an allergy to penicillin in olden days aren't really allergic. My doctor confirmed this. Turns out he had done a paper on this. My mother was told 65 years ago that I was allergic and I've parroted that ever since. Now I'm going to get tested. Could save me a spot of bother in the future.

They lodged one piece of snark in there at Nancy. She's on the phone with the Gipper at a point where things are at a stalemate.
