The myth of Berenice and her hair is a story from Greek mythology that connects the passions of the human heart with the vastness of the cosmos. It is a tale of devotion, sacrifice, and eternal love, which has a tangible presence in the night sky. Berenice II, a powerful queen of ancient Egypt, is the heroine of a myth that inspired the constellation known as "Coma Berenices" (Berenice's Hair), a celestial tribute to an extraordinary promise.

Art is driven by ruptures. And if there is one name that embodies the radical break at the end of the 16th century, it is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Forget the idealized perfection of the Renaissance; with him, art looks directly at the street, the tavern, and raw humanity. His genius lies not only in technique but in his vision: he painted saints, apostles, and martyrs with the faces and bodies of common people, bathed in a dramatic light that would become his signature: tenebrism.

A young man, standing in a doorway, draws a young woman to steal a kiss from her... which she seems to have come looking for! The eroticism of stolen pleasure is the third party between two worlds. Two attitudes are expressed by the posture, the face of this young woman, divided between the attraction of forbidden fruit and respect for morality. “The Stolen Kiss” (Le Baiser à la dérobée) by Jean-Honoré Fragonard represents a frozen instant of furtive intimacy between two lovers.
