Oh and while you're making the Prince of Peace look like the patron, a biggus dickus would be swell. I still blows my mind (and I only found out about it recently) that most people's image for the last few centuries of what Jesus Christ looked like is actually based on Cesare Borgia.

Axeface posted:Whaaaaat? That's...kind of awesome, actually. Do you have a source I could check out? See after confidently making that statement, now that you've asked me for a source and I've actually gone looking all I'm finding are increasingly nerve-inducing conspiracy websites that are making me a little leery of the idea just by association - I think maybe I was just so struck by the idea when I first read it that I accepted it at face value. The general argument seems to be that Altobello Melone's Portrait of a Gentleman, which was supposedly based on Cesare, strongly influenced depictions of Christ from that point on, particularly in his facial structure. But just as equally I'm finding claims that DaVinci's Last Supper was the first use of a Cesare-influenced Jesus - DaVinci DID work for Cesare so the possibility is there... but he worked for him AFTER making The Last Supper! The claims that Melone's portrait is based on Cesare seem circular, in that most depictions of Cesare are now based on Melone's portrait. So in the end I guess what I'm saying is.... I have no idea if this is true or not!

Regardless it's a safe bet that the common Western depiction of Jesus is based on some Italian guy from the 16th Century and that is pretty funny.

I wouldn't be too sure about that honestly, this is a 6th century depiction of Jesus that immediately recognisable even today for example:

Well I mean he was Judean, not Nubian, his degree of swarthiness is pretty up for grabs.

Skwirl posted:What? Everyone knows it's Saturn's rings. I feel like I have to reply to this superb response, just in case I'm the only one who knows what you're even talking about. One last bit on Jesus chat: it wasn't common to see Jesus with a beard in art until about the 6th century. Prior to that, he was depicted as youthful and beardless, presumably in analogy to Apollo. The addition of the beard shows the influence of Eastern tradition creeping into the art. edit: Of course, probably the most famous example of a late-era beardless Jesus is in Michelangelo's The Last Judgment in this Sistine Chapel, which even by that time would have been unusual, even in the West, where youthful Jesus was more common for centuries after it fell out of fashion in the East.

I like it because it reads like a scene right out of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry says something really dumb and awkward and gets called on it and only manages to make it worse. I guess if awkward comedy is not your thing I can understand why you wouldn't like it.
