Nymphs Survey - February 2026

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Poll closes in 14 days.

I voted "real human", but I think they are just decoration. That is, they are meant to be human women, not spirits or angels or symbols for anything.  But they are generic, not specific with names and parents.

And they are not real. The author did not intend to imply that there was actually a  woman holding each star of the Zodiac, or a little woman inside the stomach.  If the nymphs had been omitted, the drawings would contain exactly the same information.  They would only be more boring...

All the best, --stolfi
