In the picturesque harbour of Mevagissey, Cornwall, young men gather to ogle contestants in a Miss Wet T-Shirt contest. Their eyes fixated on the spectacle before them they can captivated by the allure and beauty of these women who dare to bare it all. The scene is reminiscent of an ancient mythological tale brought to life. Inside Statute Hall or the Modern Register Office, another form takes place as individuals carefully select servants for their households. With discerning eyes and meticulous scrutiny, potential employers size up candidates, searching for qualities that will meet their specific needs, and is a delicate dance between those seeking employment and those offering it. A confinement tray adorned with an exquisite painting depicting the Triumph of Venus captures the attention of onlookers. Six legendary lovers - Achilles, Tristan, Lancelot, Samson, Paris and Troilus - venerate Venus as she stands at the center of this masterpiece. The intricate details draw admirers closer as they marvel at each lover's unique story intertwined with desire and passion. Under Crossfire hangs proudly on a gallery wall; its oil-on-canvas depiction evokes curiosity from passersby. The intense gaze exchanged between two figures amidst chaos ignites intrigue within viewers' minds. What could be happening in this moment frozen in time? Are they enemies locked in combat or perhaps something more clandestine? The Connoisseurs engage in animated discussion while examining various works of art meticulously displayed before them. This hand-colored etching transports us back to 1799 when connoisseurship was highly regarded among society's elite. These gentlemen revel in their shared passion for art appreciation while subtly casting glances towards one another's reactions. Susannah and the Elders tell a tale centuries old through an oil-on-panel masterpiece that demands attention from all who behold it. Elders peer upon Susannah bathing with lecherous intent; their gazes filled with desire and lust.
