Holiday Puzzle Winner

The winner of Coxsoft Art's holiday puzzle (scroll down or click the title link) is Ian Brown, an artist and writer living in New York. He correctly identified the photographer's inspiration as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus (ca 1485). I've put cropped versions of the painting and photo side-by-side, so you can see the similarities. The ad campaign was for Renaissance Hotels and Resorts (CLICK). Renaissance paintings to advertise Renaissance Hotels ... oh, never mind.
