[QUOTE="reader, post: 1781342, member: 255"]I really have nothing to add (and I’m bored from being stuck in the house hibernating until this virus goes on the decrease g-d willing) but have to admit I could brech from this painting. (Look it up if you don’t know this Yiddish word as IMO it’s far more descriptive in Yiddish than in English). Regardless, I’m the first one to stand up for “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and art is all about how we as individuals respond to an object regardless of the artist’s actual intent or talent. Personally I wish posters would phrase their questions differently. If one posts “ I bought this painting because I loved it and I’d appreciate any info you could give me” i think most would answer with constructive information and leave the subjective opinions aside since I think this bunch of usual posters have pretty much stated that they would not call it a beautiful painting. But again, it only needs to be beautiful to you or one other person if you’re selling it. I know next to nothing about Christian iconography so can’t comment there but it makes no sense to me that the goddess Hera would have her “tiny” hands in prayer so I don’t think it could be her except the sig does look like Hera and it’s more than I can handle that someone named Hera painted that piece.[/QUOTE]
