When you look at this painting, you don’t just see a naked man with his junk all out for the world to see. It’s more of the fact that it’s about geometry, because let’s face it. Back then, it was more than just art – it was a teaching, an explanation of things that were greater than they actually were, and thus this is why we look at art and we’re able to have conversations about what the meaning of it is TRULY! No one really knows (although Wikipedia and its band of experts and artsy culturalists (that’s not even a word, but I don’t care) would disagree. I don’t care, it’s just my interpretation of the situation (Thank you Andre 3000)
This piece of artwork has always been so fascinating to me. Truly a masterpiece!
