Saw a lecture of Leo's once. He was incredible, just saw shit in ways other people didn'.
His seminal work; on Gesu's genitals.
The question...
"Why is it that in so many Renaissance paintings of the Madonna and Child, the infant Jesus’ genitals are actively displayed to viewers both within and without the picture?"
Yup, asking the tough questions.
