Thanks, but no that wasn't it. I think it was in an art appreciation class or maybe humanities. It had something to do with Michaelangelo himself.I think it is in reference to the power of thought, how we create our reality with our mind, G-d reaching out of the frontal lobe...
[whisper] rootbeer [/whisper]I seem to recall something, but I can't remember.
Michelangelo put his own image into the flayed skin carried by St Bartholomew in The Last Judgement on the Sistine Chapel wall. He received a whole lot of flack over his art, and felt drained of his personhood because of it. (Kinda like those who complain about the historical inaccuracy of the portrail of Jesus in art....)Thanks, but no that wasn't it. I think it was in an art appreciation class or maybe humanities.

Well, I cannot keep saying "thanks, but I don't know..." when I don't remember so I will just say "Thank you, ..." I appreciate it.Michelangelo put his own image into the flayed skin carried by St Bartholomew in The Last Judgement on the Sistine Chapel wall.

Yes we can see that much of religious art was created by the artist and not always a commission from some religoius institution. And even when it was the artist didn't always create what the institution had in mind.However, when I sad, "Historical inaccuracy is one of the big non-conversion reasons", we were still talking about nativity scenes, not art. And, I was not complaining. I was stating what I have heard from non-believers. (And it did not involve art.)
Maybe they were unrelated. I hope so.

Are you saying that nativity scenes in yards are commissioned by the homeowner? Okay, I never looked at it that way before...
