Photographers are not only secretly stealing ideas from older paintings. Many of them haven't any problems to show where they got some of their inspirations. Sometimes they especially honour a painting or an artist.
The British photographer Nick Knight did this with his photo Andromeda.

With this he is showing his respect to the Art Déco painter Tamara de Lempicka (1898 – 1980) quoting her painting Andromeda from 1929.
