*** As I've said before, I often have to do a lot of work on the images I post; I want them to look good! Getting things right also often involves a lot of sleuthing. Among the many indignities that have been done to images one finds on the internet is "flipping"; many things - even very well known paintings or photographs - have been reversed from the original, presented as a mirror image. I'm usually quite good at spotting when this happens. But all three of these photographs of the divine Miss Loren were found going both ways, and it was tough to come to a judgement on which way was correct. Turns out the lady has a surprisingly symmetrical face, and the photographs actually looked correct both ways. So I looked at many, many other contemporary images of her, searching for clues. The most promising was her hairstyle, which direction her hair was arranged during this period. But then she's so windblown here, that that didn't end up being a useful factor. I finally noticed that one side of her upper lip tended to rest a tiny bit higher than the other... so I went with that! I'm still not one hundred percent sure I got it right but, frankly, she looks amazing any way you flip or flop her. Am I right? This is the way I most often found the first image. Perhaps reversed, but beautiful, no?
Let her beauty astound you and talent impress you.

In honor of Loren’s 87th birthday, Vogue compiled a photographic tribute to the film and beauty icon.
The Comnenus mosaics date from 1122. The Virgin Mary is standing in the middle, depicted, as usual in Byzantine art, in a dark blue gown. She holds the child Christ on her lap. He gives his blessing with his right hand while holding a scroll in his left hand. The Hagia Sophia was the largest and most admired cathedral in Christianity for almost a thousand years. The current building was originally constructed between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. The main dome collapsed during the earthquake of 558. It was rebuilt immediately, giving the building its current interior height of 55.6 meters (182 feet). The church was rededicated in 562. Over time, the Hagia Sophia suffered damage due to earthquakes, war, and neglect, and it was restored periodically. The famous mosaics were plastered over after the Ottoman conquest of 1453 and only recovered in the 20th century.
