Congrats Chris and Sue, and thanks mattrom (also for the mention).

The Swan Lake clip reminded me of a spoof I've seen, but I can't remember who did it. Marx Brothers? Morecambe and Wise? Two Ronnies? Any one else remember?

Well done SS - cheers Mattrom!

Congrats SS and many thanks Mattrom for the challenge and the shortlisting.

Chris, this perhaps?

Well done Chris and Sue, very nice! Please have mercy on us next week....
Nice @@@@ Mattrom and thanks for the likes.

Congratulations, simplesimon, and thanks, mattrom. Loved the Titian clip! Just today I used a rose madder glaze.
Several years ago we went to the blockbuster Titian-Tintoretto-Veronese show in Boston. I had said to my wife beforehand that it would seem unfair to Tintoretto and Veronese to exhibit them with Titian, and after we’d been there a few minutes she said to me, “I see what you mean.” Oddly enough The Rape of Europa wasn’t included, even though it lives right next door at the Gardner. I can’t believe it wasn’t taken in that horrifying heist; it’s the first thing I would have grabbed.

aristo, I can't resist

As Titian was mixing rose madder
His model was posed on a ladder
Her position to Titian
Suggested coition
So he leapt up the ladder and 'ad her

:). The first thing HE would have grabbed.
