These amazing photographs by the talented Bernard Tartinville (France) look so much like18th century paintings. It's hard to believe that these are photographs and not paintings. So decadent and detailed and beautiful. There’s been a lot of talk of Marie Antoinette (due to the recently released movie) the beautiful Queen of France who became a symbol for the wanton extravagance of the 18th century monarchy, and was stripped of her riches and finery, imprisoned and beheaded by her own subjects during the French Revolution that began in 1789.
As I use to, I want to evidence the close relationship between fine art, fashion and photography. The result is a feast for the eyes.
