Step back in time to Edwardian society's obsession with beauty treatments, as women donned masks and bathed in milk baths for radiant complexions. Fast forward to WW1, where Helena Rubinstein's "The War Face" cream promised to restore tired and worn visages. Today, in a modern twist, a contemporary sculpture by Polish artist Igor Mitoraj in a Roman courtyard echoes the timeless pursuit of perfection, as a kitten purrs contentedly nearby. Elsewhere, a captive Kodiak Grizzly bear gazes on, seemingly intrigued by the woman receiving a soothing spa treatment, reminiscent of Helena Rubinston's 1917 facial in readiness for the opera. Roosters, long believed to symbolize rebirth and renewal, add a touch of whimsy to this scene of self-care and rejuvenation.
