10 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.

13 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. Afterwards, Julian, in order to avenge his dishonor on Roderic, colludes with the Umayyad forces (then subduing northern Africa) to invade Spain.[2]"

For one magical moment of time(1970's) women in Austin could go topless, because of sexual discrimination- hahahahahaha!,

And did so at Barton Springs swimming area.

Of course, there were a few land whales but most of the topless chiquitas were perky coeds.

But then, the law was changed back and sadness descended over the land.

79 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.

This phenomenon is why I have always maintained that women have ALL the power in society.

If, as a species, women said 'you're never going to get to play with them again unless and until you:
- stop swearing
- get a real job
- treat me well
- be funny on purpose
- only play video games sometimes
- use your manners,

male behavior would dramatically, overnight, and permanently.

Wome are the most powerful beings ever created by God, and we're better for having them in our lives.

They've hooked men up to EEGs and seeing an attractive woman floods the pleasure centers.

I would assume the converse is true for woman as well.

Though, one of the most amusing things I've noticed - if I look through the magazine section at a store the men's mags mostly have attractive scantily clad women on their covers and the women's mags mostly have attractive slightly less scantily clad women on their covers as well

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.

98 I wonder if the moral of the painting is the king shouldn't get distracted by the ta tas.

Well, I'm guessing the guy painted it because he knew it would sell well, and he got to look at scantily clad models for weeks.

But the moral of the story he is painting is don't let the Moors into Spain something the modern government could learn and I assume why CBD choose this painting (well along with the boobs)

At the beginning of 1 Kings, King David is on his deathbed, so the court brings in this beautiful maiden, Abishag the Shunammite, in the hope that she'll perk the old man up.

"But the king knew her not."

Considering it was David, you know he was a goner from that one line.

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

125 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)
