Sculpture of Worship

I saw this image online and thought it was very beautiful so I thought I'd share. It shows the proper place of a male...respectfully on his knees and worshipping her. I think we need more artwork in our culture like this. (By the way, if you know the artist, let me know)

Here's another sculpture I like that I do know who the artist is... "Eternal Idol" by Rodin.
It is said that Rodin once lovingly kissed one of his models on her bare belly - 'Eternal Idol' seems to reflect this affectionate gesture.
(I must admit that when I see that Eternal Idol sculpture, I imagine shackles on his wrists.)

Also by Auguste Rodin, "The Kiss"...
I saw The Kiss in person at Atlanta's High Museum of Art in the past. It was in the "Rings: 5 passions in world art" exhibit in conjunction with the 1996 Olympics I went to. =)

    I have not visited the Rodin Museum (just outside Paris) since I was a (very) young man. I had not at that time come to realise the truth about Female Supremacy and my proper role as a man. I think I would have seen "The Kiss" and "Eternal Idol" through very different eyes had I known then what I know now.

    I am definitely hoping to go again, and I can highly recommend a visit. It's a beautiful museum with lovely pieces displayed in a bright and airy setting.

    ...and when I do go again... I'm going to imagine shackles on his wrists too (as he slides perhaps a little lower)! Thanks!
