I'm doing a pretty full on project on the development of vampires from the dark ages to now. William Bouguereau's painting is pretty full on but i don't exactly get it's full meaning/ what it's really about. In this project i'm comparing two paintings and this is the most intense one i have found so far.

Not sure if i have to say this but this painting contains nudity
