Fragonard. Rinaldo in the Garden of the Palace of Armida, 1763.

Wayne White. Schadenfreude, 2010.

I really think Wayne White has a great opportunity here in this trite Fragonard to create one of his famous wry pastiche placards, perhaps overlaying an all-caps "SYPHILIS".

An 18th-century pastoral painting of an idealized classical bucolic garden setting in which two richly clad nobles (a male-female pairing) are playfully flirting below a statue of Venus.

A vandalized kitsch painting of idealized picturesque mountains with a row of conifers and shallow river running below over which has been painted the word Schadenfreude in colorful comic block lettering.
