PALESTRA-oil on canvas The athletes in Durand' palestra wear Calvin Klein underwear. Isabell Kristensen enters the scene in a cadmium yellow frock a matching glove in her teeth as if the designer intends to drop her glamorous attire and wrestle.

PALESTRA-The palestra; Greek: παλαίστρα was the ancient Greek wrestling school. The events that did not require a lot of space, such as boxing and wrestling, were practised there. The palaestra functioned both independently and as a part of public gymnasia; a palaestra could exist without a gymnasium, but no gymnasium could exist without a palaestra.
