Cover Photo: In this painting, based on the myth of Philomela in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, we see a man holding up a hand in protest, a look of horror on his face, as two women rush towards him, one of them holding the decapitated and still bloody head of a child in her hands. The colors are rich and the style feels classic Roman or Greek.
