One wonders how much experience the artist has had with that reality?vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2017 9:41 pm That hand pressing into the flesh. Staggering really.

Not to anyone who understands the limitations of the teleological argument. You can believe it all you like, but there is logical connection between your knowledge that a grope in marble was sculpted by an artist, and your belief that a grope in the flesh was created by some almighty artist.
Anyway. One of my favourite paintings is The Steadfast Philosopher, by Gerrit van Hondhorst. Anyone interested can view it here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... dhorst.jpg But I have no idea how to upload it.

Your critique of The Steadfast Philosopher?
Re: Great Works of Art
I don’t recall ever seeing it before. It brings to mind a sad tune that may explain the mind of that steadfast fellow. This philosopher could be done with distractions from the real, up there on the summit where the horizon is broader than broad. Could also be a historical caution for youth from the age of home remedies.
