    The photo matches the album cover, no doubt. However the approach is different, Lichtenstein's style is pretty obvious IMO.

    My reference to "The Next Day" vs. Malevitch was also a joke. ;)

    Here is some info on the original painting which is titled - Gabrielle d'Estrées et une de ses sœurs

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabrielle_d'Estrées_et_une_de_ses_sœurs

    The artist is unknown. I took the photo while visiting Paris last summer. It hangs in the Louvre. It is actually in a Louvre pamphlet, as one of the paintings you should see. Once I saw it in the pamphlet, I knew I had to find it and take a photo.

    Bob Seger's Ramblin' Gamblin' Man was originally supposed to have Botticelli's nude Venus on the cover, but the label made them change it.
