The Kreutzer Sonata[1] (1901) is a painting by French painter René-Xavier Prinet based on The Kreutzer Sonata (1889). It shows a violinist, overcome with passion, breaking off his performance to embrace his female accompanist. The painting was used for years in the Tabu by Dana perfume ads.

See also The Awakening Conscience, another painting on the aphrodisiac powers of music, or so it would seem.

The fact that this makes reference to my ALL TIME FAVORITE FRED & GINGER song, makes me undeniably happy.
