Photography. A black and white photo from a shop window shows two women standing in front of the window and looking at a painting. A laundry can be seen in the background. The two older women are wearing winter coats and hats and are visibly horrified by the framed painting hanging on the wall. It shows a naked woman getting into her bath (the simple painting was 50 years old and was by an unknown artist called Wagner). Info: The photo appeared as the series "Le regard oblique" together with seven similar photos in the US magazine Life in May 1949. The shop window belonged to the antique store of Robert Miquel, who also worked as a reporter and was a friend of Robert Doisneau. The store was located at 15 Rue de Seine. The two noticed the astonishment and confusion of their compatriots when they saw the naked woman and decided to take a series of photographs. The photos are world-famous because they have been used for many purposes. This photo, for example, fetched a price of 9,500 US dollars at auction.

How the gladiators inspired evangelicals’ sense of persecution

To early Christians, ancient gladiators were potent symbols of martyrdom, embodying virtue and bravery despite being enslaved.
