...like, capital A Art

Do you ever see FemDom themes in artwork, when wonder if you're just reading too much into it?

A few examples:

The Eternal Idol (Rodin)

La Belle Dame Sans Merci (Waterhouse)

The Accolade (Edmund Leighton)

A little cul-chur for y'all on this Sunday evening

I have "The Accolade" up on my wall, actually.

It's a romantic ideal that works for me.

Almost any representation of Diana the Huntress works for me.

(Edited to add) - also, Klimt's Palas Athena is a great one, as is Heijia http://traumwerk.stanford.edu/philolog/klimt-pa.jpg

And any other work of art based on the relationship. Some nice statues.
