Our first association with gypsy girls is often those mediocre paintings of a woman with voluminous raven hair, flashing eyes and a bosom yearning for freedom. But in the photo of four young gypsy girls that Wilhelm Brasse made in Auschwitz at the end of 1944, there is no trace of such pseudo romance.

The British art historian John Berger compared the image with paintings by Rembrandt (The Anatomy Lecture by Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, 1632) and Mantegna (The Lamentation over the Dead Christ, 15th C.). In the Vietnamese napalm girl by Nick Ut, you can see Edvard Munch’s The Cry (1893). Over the last few years, countless portraits were made that directly refer to Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
