Some interesting pictures of two less known painters of the 'academic' period, in both pictures a mirror plays the most important part of the game: 'Odalisca' by Mariano Fortuny and 'The Reader', by Wiertz.
Wiertz was a very interesting painter, almost surreal, and was of course derided as a 'pompier' by the 'mafia degli scarabocchi'.
