Rape of the Sabine Women--2 paintings--look carefully. especially at the closeups (family groups) and preliminary sketches (now at Chatsworth)

I was at Chatsworth in 2004, but only had time for the garden.

If you draw or want to learn to draw, you would do well to try and copy the masters.

Then you will realize what genius is, rather than repeating cliches.
