 Q: Where does that big animated foot in the opening titles come from?
 A:  That  big foot comes from a painting by Angelo Bronzino
(1503-1572), one  of  the  most respected masters of Tuscan Mannerism who
painted with supreme classical elegance, bringing out the abstract nature
of form with a glossy marble-like sense of purity that only Ingres was to
capture some three centuries later. Get all that? Bronzino's painting of
Venus and Cupid  hangs in the National Gallery, London. The foot is in the
lower left corner.
