Fascinating paintings

This one is called the knight and the virgin and it portrays the first touch. It really gives me the chills! She looks like a young child and he is a pervo. Yes I know that this was the way it was back then, but still...

It also reminds me a little of the innocent and pure 15 years old Game of Thrones character Daenerys and her creepy warrior boyfriend who takes her virginty.

Even though I get this creepy feeling watching it (or maybe because of it) I find this painting very intriguing. The symbolism is great and the red and steel against the white is very powerful.

O, not to forget, the painter is Richard Bergh and the painting is from 1897. The photo is from a book I bought last Saturday called "Gamla Bildbekanta" by Gunnar Dahmen.
