This is very interesting and convincing. I suspect that many artists put meaning into much of their work. Think what a painter could do while painting a portrait of someone they did not like.

Another interesting thing to see at the Vatican are the catacombs underneath the church. Many different religious symbols there!

I am not an expert, but I can tell you the exploits in the Old Testament are more visual and primal, and that Mike was at heart more of a humanist and than a believer.

He just drew upon the more sensational source material. Steal from the best and then make it your own!

Did you also notice that the ‘female’ in the Tree of Knowledge painting does not just have non female like breasts but that her body is very muscular and masculine? Story I was told while visiting Rome, that Michelangelo was very enamored with the male body because he was a homo sexual.Does that explain this?

That is sooooo interesting. Interesting that you thought I’d find it interesting, too. I happen to be taking a non-denom bible study class and we are studying genesis. Fascinating how the folks in class take so very few words and drag in their dogma…THANKS. I’m gonna have to become a regular reader. BIG hugs!

It sounds amazing. I love all the history and art info from that time…also love Rome as most of Italy…I don’t ride bikes where there are cars so I won’t be joining you on any of these trips anytime soon, but I enjoy hearing about them
Thanks
