Based on Botticelli's most famous nude, The Birth of Venus. A poster campaign for an Italian magazine in 2004 to launch a series of takes on famous nudes by the old masters. Subsequently syndicated around the world. All the amateur models in the series posed for free - they did it for art's sake.
'Bernarda' is the female name of the boat on the life belt - a wee joke, the English equivalent would be 'Fanny'.
