[edit]DescriptionLord Leighton - Athlete Wrestling a Python back right V&A 2007.jpg |
English: NOW VIEWABLE AT FULL SIZE.
Leighton's 1884 statue of a nude wrestler with a python, currently on display at the Sculpture Court in the V&A adjacent to the central courtyard. I've often wondered whether this statue inspired the scene in Rudyard Kipling's 1895 story "The King's Ankus" (in The Second Jungle Book), in which Mowgli (also nude) has a friendly wrestling match (that he can't hope to win) with Kaa the python. The background in this one came out a bit cluttered because I had to use a wide angle lens and couldn't limit the depth of field. Maybe I should have waited until there was no one passing by too... |
