To whoever reported it I say this. I know its nudity but its the statue of David. I’m not censoring the statue of David lol.
A while ago, I went to Good Will and saw (and bought) a stone relief of the Vitruvian Man. I love the art itself, but even better was that the staff of the store had taped a tiny piece of paper over the genitalia. That will never not be funny.
Actually, Michelangelo made it small on purpose, because big ones were seen as a sign of low intelligence and animal-like behavior back then. Probably for racism reasons.
An ancient cracked.com article posited that, seen from above - as might be the theoretical perspective of the sculptor - every aspect of the statue represents the subject being in a state of fear, due to being about to fight Goliath, hence the shrinkage.
Unfortunately I cannot find the article, nor prove this to be the case.
I remember it!
Well, that means you are my new best friend. Sorry if you weren’t looking for one - the process is automatic.
Great article and very convincing. If you look at his face from an elevated position, it’s obvious he’s scared shitless.
FFS, David was a shepherd boy facing the Phillistine’s giant hero! Yeah he was scared.
Is this comment literally without content or is my client malfunctioning?
Left it open earlier, came home and it was blank. Strange. Commented now.
I would have been as well!
When you look at anything, always consider racism reasons
Oh sweet, I’m like a fucking genius then
Why is it so smooth and pointy?
It was the style at the time.
I see no onions!
They’re hanging just behind David’s Johnson.
Original looks perfectly normal to me guys.
Oh, internet, bringer of smooth-pointy weiners…
Why is it pointy
Isn’t yours?
I think I know why the statues have tinny wangs.
Growers not showers?
