Does anyone else pick up a resemblance between Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine and Edouard Manet’s `Olympia’ ? Am I crazy, am I seeing things here? Is it the pose, or that long look into an uncertain future? Actually, I would say Olympia seems more determined and self-assured in her gaze…

Tried to edit it from my user page. Couldn’t. (The comment id was missing from the link.) I tried to add a comment id to the link, but that failed too. Perhaps there’s something amiss in the infrastructure?

Users should be able to edit their own comments, IMO. Lowers admin overhead, too!
was a “take-off” on Venus of Urbino. Try this:

It really is MANET, but even Wikipedia cautions against confusing him with Claude Monet.
Doppleganger!
Give that man a Monet tote bag!
