Question - 104

Connect the three visuals.

Answer: The connect is "Bonfire of the vanities". The statue is that of Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican priest who was extremely hostile to the Renaissance and had several books, art and other stuff that he considered vanities burnt in a bonfire. Tom Wolfe wrote a novel of the same name which was made into a movie starring Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis. Iam and Hirak got it. Vikrant came really close. Well done.
