Lovers Under Night Cover - the  work after brilliant artist Mikhail Verkholantsev as collaboration with the gallery and art studio Alexander's Collection in the modern style of couture erotica.
In antiquity and in the new art Priapus (in Greek mythology, the ancient Greek god of fertility; fields and gardens - in the Romans.) took the form of herma (a special kind of sculpture, which is a four-sided column, topped with an image of a head or bust.). The head and ugly torso of the god was set on top of a rectangular pillar or column.
In this artwork, the herma resembles a household lamp, symbolizing blazing love. Priam was worshipped in both Greece and Rome. Many antique images of him have survived. Legend has it that he was the son of Venus and Bacchus (or Bacchus - ancient Roman god of winemaking, agriculture and fertility, he was also called Liber.
Corresponds to the god Dionysus from Greek mythology)
Juno (goddess of marriage and birth, motherhood and femininity, guardian of the family) was extremely displeased with Venus' promiscuity and therefore endowed her son with grotesque ugliness.
