    The name of it is just “Viennese Warsaw Street,” which is no information. I really want to know what’s actually going on here.

    Lady Godiva came to realize that while it was true that the Poles were being unfairly taxed by their Soviet rulers, that 1) Communists didn’t really care about naked noblewomen 2) Krakow is a lot colder than Coventry 3) she didn’t have a horse.

    You see, she was a figure in a painting. And as all female figures in paintings do, she had a very hard time keeping her clothes on. Then suddenly, she woke up and the painting was gone but she was still there, and she was still having a very hard time keeping her clothes on. “Well,” she thought, “at least I’m consistent.”

    The Polish title is, “Wiedeńska ulica,” which means “Vienna street”. (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stanis%C5%82aw_Woyneko-Tomkiewicz_-Wiede%C5%84ska_ulica1886.jpg ) The English title is, “Harlot from Munich.” (https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/harlot-from-munich-1886-10-c-d874476bc7) So what the heck is going on here? Anyway, the painting sold for about $30,000 US in an auction in Warsaw in 2017 (see URL above.)

    She ran outside to get the paper whilst still wet from the shower. It’s freezing – She slipped, grabbed the pole and froze to it.

    That’ll be the last time she nips out at dawn to pick up the newspaper on the stoop, forgets her keys, and locks herself out.

    She thought it would be safe to go/ in her nightie, outside in the snow/ but her garb, indiscrete/ had not reckoned with sleet/ and pneumonia at last brought her low.

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to more info about this painting.

     

    Other than what the title URL points to: 

    https://www.polswissart.pl/pl/aukcje/archiwalne/100-aukcja-dziel-sztuki/8308-wiedenska-ulica-1886 

    for example, I couldn’t find any online info about this artist (that Chrome could automatically translate, anyway). For those who read Polish, there is this:

    plus maybe more. First work by him used here.

    It looks like the dude to the left of the lamp post in the painting may be taking his coat off. I’m assuming the purpose would be to put the coat on her. I do wonder what the story is behind the painting.

    She was told she’d get paid for warming up the Pole – unfortunately, something got lost in the translation.

    This reminds me of the old Soviet era joke. A Pole runs up to a policeman, calling “Help, help, a Swiss soldier just stole my Russian made watch!” The cop looks at him for a moment, puzzled, before saying, “you mean a Russian soldier just stole your Swiss made watch.” The guy shrugs – “you said it, not me!”
