Gallery of The Muses, a story in a series of images

Completed: 24 Sep 2023

Maurice is a young painter with a small art gallery on the outskirts of Venice. During his free afternoons, he roams the city to capture the delightful environment with canvas, brushes, and paint. He’s greatly inspired by all the beautiful men wandering around in their elegant gondolas through the countless canals. They are his muses. And suddenly, on one sunny afternoon, these muses take him on a journey that he’ll never forget.

Romantic. Classic. Going to be epic.

RWClassCDLVR

This is the start of a great series. The narrative arc is already taking shape and it will be intriguing to see how it progresses. Beautifully rendered art so far on this. Well done!

Gulliver

This is one of the most beautiful openings by Priapus. the settings are stunning, rich in exquisite & nuanced details, with so many "Easter eggs" and gateways leading to discoveries. I am sure the very talented youthful artist will find many handsome MUSES, and their encounters inspire great artistic (and of course erotic) imagination Priapus always delivers!

Gulliver

I also LOVE that the gondola rowers are wearing the Sailor Front Button PANTS. With the opening on the front, it invites people to stare and attempt to open the front flaps, which, I believe, are the gateways to some beautiful gardens of virile organisms.

priapus

That's! Always great to hear when starting a new series, for one never knows ;o) Venice is a great setting for any story, so that's always a good start!

priapus

Thanks! That's very kind of you. I guess the opening scene always has to make some impact, for it sets the mood and atmosphere for the rest of the unfolding story. This time it's a happy and sunny place, fit for a summer holiday adventure :o)

priapus

Yes, those were the days, when you only had to lower the front drawbridge to start the party ;o)

Bourlet

Venice is a city where a lot can happen. We are not in carnival period, but who knows, he could well invite himself. I really like gondoliers...

Greg Hancock

Oh god. Yes. David. They are perfect young healthy stallions.

Gulliver

Gondola rowers, it appears, have a very special, happy dress code! No wonder the artist feels hot and needs some drinks...

Gulliver

A new definition of daylight robbery! Nude gangsters; they will be HARD to find...or find them very HARD!

Greg Hancock

Oh the naughty naughty boys.

James Armstrong

I was going to say it looks like they are planning to be quite naughty. But sometimes, you just can't stay angry.

priapus

Yes, the outskirts of Venice are notorious for such acts. Hard to combat, but hard to resist as well ;o)

RWClassCDLVR

The way that this narrative is unfolding is great. Seeing the artist's reaction to the fun-spirited gondolier gents is very telling. No doubt the next set of images will be beautiful.

priapus

Thanks! Yes, I think he's totally surprised by that, and eager to find out more :o)

Greg Hancock

Now that’s a sweet maze. Love how they are real till the artist looks and poof. Statue. Lol. Love them statues.

Gulliver

I fear this innocent PAINTER will love Garden design and being a Stage Actor a little more! It is HARD to choose among different GENRES of Art!

David

Image 75: So yeah, him!

priapus

Well, I believe there are 9 muses in total, so the painter still has a long way to go :o)

tim hesse

So you're going about your business and all of a sudden you find a pile of hot naked guys...what would you do??????

priapus

Yes, good question! Out of the blue - While mining your own business in a labyrinth in Venice - you're confronted with an existential dilemma :o|

Greg Hancock

It didn’t take our artist friend long to get naked and into the middle of things. Good for him. Lucky guy.

James Armstrong

What started out as a lovely day just keeps getting better!

Fourth Nine

Did he complete the maze?!

Cookie Fortuna

I feel like von Aschenbach staring at Tadzio in Death in Venice except there is much more here to look at and touch. Oh, to be young again! Wonderful series/story.

priapus

Thanks and yes, I definitely had images of the movie in mind when starting the series, but this time the story will not end so dramatically :o)

Greg Hancock

He has been out in the sun and heat too much. Day dreaming. But man oh man what sweet dreams.

RWClassCDLVR

The narrative flow of the story continues to be enthralling. It is great to see the way in which the characters display action in every scene. With this newest set of images there is a new set of mystery. What will Maurice discover as he leaves the maze? What happened to the gondoliers he discovered? What are the gentlemen sitting at the cafe seeing as they look at the easel? Can't wait to see the next part of the story! So many questions ... Well done!

priapus

Yes, the heat is extreme this summer, far better not to stay too long in the sun during midday :o)

priapus

Thanks! Glad you like the update! Indeed a lot of mystery in the Venetian garden during a long and hot summer afternoon. Plenty of inspiration for the artist and it looks like a day well spent :o)

Gulliver

Cookie Fortuna is so insightful in mentioning the great movie Death in Venice. Priapus-David incorporated many classical Greco-Roman sculptures into the graceful Venetian setting, full of grandeur and exquisite details. The plot of this story is as rich as Mahler's music, loaded with multi-dimensional, fantastic twists and profound emotion, keeping the audience wanting more! Bravo, Priapus-David!

Gulliver

I got a feeling: the sausages in the garden maze are just appetizer-samplers; the main courses & drinks & desserts in the palace are yet to come...!?

priapus

Thanks! That's wonderful to hear. A plot as rich as that is a very big compliment indeed! :o)

Greg Hancock

Hummm. Sexy hunks, art lovers and then a hunk of a butler… who locks the front gate? Should our artist be worried or thrilled?

Gulliver

The spectacular designs and luxurious details of the setting alone are breathtaking! And the appearance of Donatello-ish Equestrian Statue of Gatta...ish Military Commander adds the potency of cultural refinement, with a very expensive taste, to the party (of body & soul) yet to come! I feel this painter's story is THE story of Priapus yourself (!? :))

priapus

Thanks, much appreciated. Enjoyed creating the settings, it's like being on holiday myself. Yes, it should have been Gatta, ringing that bronze stallion, but I could only find a 3D Marcus for that :o)

Greg Hancock

Hummmm. At party. Beautiful people. Yet gates locked. And servants being mysterious. Should our young artist be worried? Scared? Or enjoy and how with the flow? He might be new addition to the collection.

priapus

Yes, very exclusive art party, with special gentlemen's club on the first floor on the left. Member-only :o)

Gulliver

A great visual feast, full of the most extravagant deco of a palatial hall. Your "camera" eye, with multiple angles and perspectives, caressing the grand staircase in a rotating fashion, surveying the great art collection and the chandelier, shimmering the delightful party atmosphere saturated with desires! Without saying a word, their gazes entangled... torrents of thoughts rushing through the bodies without even touching any alcohol!

priapus

Thanks! It took a while to get these settings done, thought I might make some use of them, instead of just a few random snapshots leading to the next scene. I guess it sets the stage nicely for the following part of the story :o)

Greg Hancock

Now that’s a hot private party.

Gulliver

On cue, the hunks simultaneously opened their front pouches and immediately sported their veiny, erect male members. I hope the painter will see his partner in black leggings sport something more impressive!

Gulliver

The carnal theater is hot! And I love the gramophone's trumpet speaker in the background whose presence leads the audience to see: while the blonde samples his rare meat, the masked hunk gazes into the seemingly anxious and super excited painter. Superb! and very poetic!

priapus

Thanks, Gulliver! Yes, in this part of the Palazzo, the party is on and the boys go wild. Everything goes as long as everyone has a good time :o)

priapus

I'm sure the black legging holds a surprise for the young painter, but is more impressive even possible? :o)

Greg Hancock

Now things are getting interesting.

Gulliver

"TheMuses206" captures the excitement...I am afraid that the HOT smoking cigarette is going to land on either a big dick or a vulnerable butt-crack...OMG! But, if the top ejaculates in time, shooting down the missile in mid-air, their piston sexercise could continue safely...

Gulliver

The interaction between the Painter and the Muscle Hunk is at the smooth, loving adagio pace, while other copulations in an allegro frenzy...the contrast is most insightful! The "sudden move" from "TheMuses 197" to "TheMuses 198" demonstrates how hungry these beasts are!

priapus

Yes, good point! Better to have cigarettes after sex. Isn't that also the name of a bad? I guess they had a similar experience... ;o)

priapus

Yes, the party is going in crescendo from adagio into an all-round Prestissimo fuck-frenzy, while the main couple take their time to get to know each other :o)

Greg Hancock

Inspiring. Truly magnificent. And that hunk you had in the statue notch . Wow. Perfection. Hope we get to see more of him in the future.

priapus

Thanks! Much appreciated! Yes, quite some nice specimens out there, I'm sure we'll see them again in some future projects :o)

Gulliver

Since the beginning, the picture on the little canvas frame has never been revealed...It keeps all the reviewers deeply intrigued! It appears that by the end of Sep, the content of the picture will finally be unveiled!(?)

Gulliver

Within the vertical rectangular frame of the little canvas is a "cross"(!?) I hope the picture on the canvas is not Jesus...who might or might not approve of the excessive orgy in such an exceedingly magnificent palace!(?)

priapus

No, don't worry, it's not an image of a classification, The cross is the frame for the canvas at the back side ;o)

Gulliver

It is a bird!? It is an airplane!? It is Superman!? No, it is a very talented artist! The big reveal is super interesting! It is a selfie that is simultaneously in the past tense, present tense, and "present perfect progressive" tense.

Gulliver

The private gallery full of beautiful male nudes must be based on the real gallery of Priapus, I guess! Then, the artist's "future-past" selfie would be among the very few "clothed Adonises" in the ocean of "naked Adonises"!

Greg Hancock

Now that was creative. Inspired and tasteful. David you do know your art and create the best. This ending is beautiful in so many ways. Thank you thank you

priapus

Thanks, Gulliver! Yes, such an art gallery would be a great addition. Wouldn't mind adding such a space space with some nice artworks to my apartment :o)

priapus

Thanks, Greg! Nice hearing that, much appreciated and it's always a great pleasure :o)

AndreaItaly

This story is beautiful... Very sensual and erotic! The collection of art on the male figure that you attached to the WorkDoc is also very interesting... as well as the quotes from the Greek statues that you included in the project.! Compliments!

priapus

Thanks! Much appreciated, glad you like it! The attachment came as an afterthought, but I think there's plenty of beautiful stuff there to share with you all :o)

Christian

Very good job, I love this beautiful story. You have a great talent!
