Adorations of Diana

So here it is, as promised in my first post. It took a bit more fussing than I first thought, but I am really happy with it now.

The 81 Adorations of Diana

Why 81 because 9 is a special number for her and 9x9 = 81 and also 8+1= 9

There's a mixture of different influences here, some Roman, some Hellenized, some Medieval, some more Modern, a few personal, and rather then bore you with a massive commentary section, if you feel so inclined I encourage you to give it a try, and if you have burning and specific questions I'll be happy to answer them in the comments. As I feel so inspired and I have a moment of time I might take little chunks and do some more in-depth analysis.

Blessings,

Satiah
