Medieval Masked Ball

[mrosa]

In the third volume of the Borgia series, once again I choose an arresting sequence that demonstrates the finest qualities of Milo Manara's art, his talent for painstaking details and gorgeous designs.

Marvel at the colors, the masks, the mad, overcharged erotic ambient.




Love her dress, with the blue stripe running vertically and the belt cutting it horizontally, and the flowing sleeves to give her figure a sense of movement. It's such a simple but elegant design.

And what's going on in the background is hilarious or disgusting, it depends.





Always classy, the Borgia. Lucretia is all, "Ah, so what if I'm your daughter? We can still have fun!" And Rodrigo's all, "Yeah, I'd love to, but your brother gets first dibs on you."

Lucreatia's solution isn't any better: she suggests that they storm a convent and 'rescue' her young cousin so Rodrigo can keep her for himself. You know, a normal day in the Borgia family.

Also, warning for incest?
