There's something really dirty about this Da Vinci painting

[LynneSin]

Can you find it in the picture. Let's put it this way, it's really big and really hard!

1. Oh, that Da Vinci ... nt

2. Did you find it?

It's hard to miss!!

3. Yeah, the rock behind her head. When they made him repaint it...

he made the symbolism even more outrageous and explicit. You reading the Da Vinci Code by any chance. Stupid book (gets Gnosticism all wrong) but great opportunity to explore Da Vinci; so, in that sense, it's a great enabler, or an enabler of the great. Whatever...it's late.

5. I enjoyed the book and it's gotten me reading more stuff on

Da Vinci and Mary Magdeline - non-fiction this time.

Yes and it is way more obviously on the 'cleaner' painting he had to do to make everyone more saintly :eyes:

9. The Lounge is so sophisticated...quote me.

Haven't been here much but posting the second Da Vinci, promptly erudite. I actually enjoyed the book but it trivialized the Gnostic movement; like that movie with the Stigmata chick. The whole Knights Templar, Priory of Sion thing is the European equivalent of our obsession with the JFK Conspiracy. A good read on that subject makes real money. Thanks for the pics and also thanks from Dr. Freud!

If you liked this, take a look at GOSPEL by Wilton Barnhardt. It will rock your world, truly.

4. I dunno

But I think that angel in the foreground has a stiffy

6. It's more obvious in this picture

Da Vinci was commissioned to paint this picture and he had to do a second version of it because the first one (the top one) wasn't holy enough for the middle age fundies.

So he did a second painting with halos and really made that dirty thing even more obvious!!!

7. Actually

The picture is full of those symbols.....which I think is a statement in itself..........

8. Da Vinci, What a perv! lol

10. Jesus bowing down to John the baptist...

yeah the catholic church thought that was pretty low as well.


However, Da Vinci was an in the closet anti-christian, so this should come as no surprise.

(This painting is discussed in the Da Vinci code by Dan Brown)

11. Wait, why did he do that again? Just for kicks?

I've not read the DaVinci code, but I'm well aware of the plot and everything... so he put that in the painting because...?
