Art Uncorked

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The home of Chloe Wine at Main Ridge, Mornington Peninsula The painting is Chloe, by Jules Lefebvre, (a French figure painter 1836-1911). This is arguably the most famous painting in Melbourne, hanging in Young And Jackson's Hotel, Melbourne since 1909. For details of the incredible journeys of "Chloe - the model" (actually a model, Marie, who suicided at the age of 21) and "Chloe - the painting" see Only Melbourne.

A boutique winery
(Known as Poplar Bend)
Tucked away on a mountain
But not far from the sea
Parades an image of
A famous
Melbourne nude painting
In full view of
Passing traffic on
Main Ridge Road
~
Those who know nothing of
The painting's colourful legends
May feel the image
InappropriateFor general public viewing
And it may be quite a shock
Turning a bend in the road to find
A supersized view of
Nudity
~
But order should calm chaos ~
This is classic nudity ~
Think Rubens
Think Michelangelo
Think Greek gods
~
A humble winery offers
A shortcut to
The appreciation of
Art
Uncorked
