Lazy Day 

Joseph Lorusso painted "Lazy Day" depicting a reclining figure in what seems to be a moment of repose. The motif of the reclining figure, seen here, has been used for centuries. We can trace its roots back to antiquity. The image echoes poses of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, often depicted reclining languidly. This classical symbol has its roots in the collective unconscious, resurfacing in various forms throughout history. It's a timeless representation of beauty and idleness. The pose conveys a sense of vulnerability and openness, engaging viewers on a subconscious level. It's interesting to see how the same symbol of the reclining body is employed in different contexts, sometimes charged with eroticism, other times with contemplation. The symbol is a thread that weaves its way through time, constantly evolving and adapting to new cultural contexts.
