where's your logic, nigga? you affirmed that "that's Saint Ursula" then you changed your claim to say that the woman in pic was actually BASED ON Saint Ursula, but you're also wrong. nigga, you lost

there's no solid evidence that the woman in Fleur mystique (The Mystic Flower) by Gustave Moreau was based on Saint Ursula. Moreau never identified the figure as Saint Ursula in his notes, titles, or correspondence. when Moreau meant a specific saint or mythological figure, he usually said so, explicitly. also the imagery doesn't line up cleanly with Saint Ursula's iconography. and the painting fits Moreau's Symbolist mode, not hagiography
Moreau loved deliberate ambiguity. he often created figures that feel saintly or sacred without being any saint in particular. that's part of his method

I know that the aura of chastity, mystery, and spiritual elevation loosely overlaps with Ursula's legend, but I also know that later viewers and writers tend to retrofit Symbolist works with specific saints to make them more legible, but that's interpretation, not evidence

you can interpret the figure through the lens of Saint Ursula if you want, but academically and historically, the woman in Fleur mystique is best understood as an idealized, symbolic feminine presence, not a portrait or allegory of Saint Ursula

also the picture you posted is Jupiter and Semele by Gustave Moreau, and it is also not based on Saint Ursula
you're just plain wrong, that's all

nigga, you need way more History of Art classes. here, I'll help you: https://haa.fas.harvard.edu/classes

>The Mystic Flower is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau, created c. 1890. A religious work, it was inspired by Carpaccio's Apotheosis of Saint Ursula, which Moreau was able to copy during his stay in Venice.

You were initially asserting that Saint Ursula was God, or "Dia." You were incorrect.
