There are a number of anomalies here.

Can you spot them all ?

You got it wrong on there, Colin.

Well, I realise it's all fictional, but the painting must be depicting an event, real or fantasy.

1 - How did Saint Francis of Assisi [for it is he] manage to free Jesus' right hand, leaving the nail in situ ?

2 - How is he going to free the other hand ?
He could, I suppose, improve his grip & swing with all his weight applied - that would do some nasty damage to the left hand, though.
And, as the third nail is still firmly in place, some awful things would happen to the feet, too.

3 - As St. Francis wasn't born until the 12th century, how is he there in the first place ?
The Tardis is parked just out of sight, I guess.

Oh, yeah, miracles.

I forgot them.

Maybe because we're living in the 21st century...

LOL - Matriarchs ruled the world in the beginning, we are going back to our roots, lol.

Ha!

In recent years archaeologists have increasingly found more and more evidence of the possibility of a Matriarchal age in the past. Yet we do not hear about this in either the mainstream media or in the alternative press. Yet if what is being discovered now is true, we will have to re-write ancient history and rethink what is the true nature of human beings. What archaeologists are now discovering suggests that in the stone age we were not the savage brutes as portrayed in academic speculation, but were in fact peace loving people who worshipped an ancient deity called the Great Mother. Recent archaeological evidence shows that the history of war and violence only began long after civilization got started.

So....there was a time when women AND cats were worshipped!

LOL LOL LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

1 - How did Saint Francis of Assisi [for it is he] manage to free Jesus' right hand, leaving the nail in situ ?

Jesus freed his own hand to embrace Francis.
Then why didn't he free both his own hands & his feet as well ?

Colin B wrote:2 - How is he going to free the other hand ?

He isn't.
Well, it looks like he's helping Jesus down, or is he just there to give a little comforting cuddle ?

Colin B wrote:3 - As St. Francis wasn't born until the 12th century, how is he there in the first place ?

It's symbolic.
Ah - symbolism, yes of course.

If you were familiar with the Gospels, you would know the answer.

If you were familiar with the picture, and its original, that you posted, you would know the answer.

Ha ha ha !

Well, I'm not familiar with any of those things, so instead of posting cryptic comments, why don't you enlighten me ?

Your attitude is one of:

"I know all the answers, so I'm superior to you.

And I'll maintain that superiority by refusing to reveal them !"


A lot of us left FECC because of that type of thinking...

Hi Colin,

I think it is difficult to explain something that has a lot of detail. Art, for instance, is very subjective and can be/is symbolic, people can see what they want; however, the artist also "made" what he/she could see, too. Sometimes art turns into something else because a mistake was made, art is something that is difficult to explain for the artist or one who is observing the art, it is also something that builds with experience (or not) as you learn or unlearn, as it is "art". lol.

Religion the same. Where do you start or finish? Placing both together, the turn of a hand in some type of artwork, the look of a smile, the pleading in the eyes, all can or may not mean anything, or, something in the artwork could be symbolic and there for someone who knows, but not for others, as it is art.

See? I am really trying to explain and it may not make sense, because of the subject. One of my good friends is an incredible artist and teaches art, and to speak with her, (one can mix in history, architecture, travel and religion, too) it could take month for one part of the subject, and still there is more, and more variances).

There isn't any meanness coming from anyone, anywhere, Colin, it is just an open book.

Hugs to all.

:D

This is one of my friend's drawings. I can see her husband's jawline, who knows what this means, I must ask, although first think about what I think it is.

Buxom woman because my friend's husband may have liked that? Or buxom, just because it is a nice line?

Have I scratched the surface? Nope.

Mike Edwards has made the accusation "you don't know what you're talking about".

Where I come from that's a pretty mean thing to say.

Well, yes, there is past context, too, for the interaction.

I was in tears with this subject a while back, John stepped in.
