That picture of Media with her children in modern day clothes and setting somewhat resembles an anachronism. In that Media and her kids are taken out of time sequence and put into a current day painting. And although an anachronism is usually found in literature, I believe that it can be displayed this way too.

Catullus 5

This is the Latin Version(original version) of Catullus 5 (it's also the first poem in our book):

Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus
Rumoresque senum severiorum
Omnes unius aestimemus assis.
Soles occidere et redire possunt;
Nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux
Nox est perpetua una dormienda.
Da mi basia mille deinde centum
Dein mille altera dein secunda centum
Deinde usque altera mille deinde centum!
Dein, cum milia multa fecerimus
Conturbabimus illa ne sciamus,
Aut ne quis malus invidere possit
Cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.
