Photo Friday: Que Purdy!

Venus-on-P-Cakes2

Readers may be interested to hear that Eternally Cool’s trusty photographer, Susan Sanders, is out roaming the globe in search of manifestations of Rome in the larger world.    This week she’s been in San Antonio, Texas, where her clever eye and trusty camera locked upon a fine work of art by Franco Mondini-Ruiz.

Called Que Purdy, the work depicts a copy of the Venus de Milo standing on a stack of pancakes, and embellishes the porch of the Museo Alameda (the only branch of the Smithsonian Museum that’s not in Washington DC) on Market Square in downtown San Antonio.

We’re led to wonder if the goddess really ate pancakes. We’re thinking carefully about whether maple syrup or strawberries would be the appropriate accompaniment.  And is that a short stack or a tall one?
