In October 1949, Mao Zedong announced the creation of the People’s Republic of China. China and Russia had long been allies and now, as communist states, that relationship was more important to both countries than ever before. The poster above attests to how much each country wanted to show the world they had a united front, China and Russia walking hand-in-hand, happy and gay, so to speak. The posters they used to get this idea across, however, may have been a bit too literal.The physical closeness seen in the images wasn’t meant to be a sexual one, of course, but rather was meant to be representative of the importance of the two communist cultures staying close politically. China and the Soviet Union were both rather homophobic societies (they’ve also continued in that same vein). Talk about a big OOPS!!! Activists for gay rights in both Russia and China find inspiration in the posters, using the images in their own propaganda campaigns.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, the creator of Classical Damn explained that the page was started in 2019 with the goal of combining two of their passions: art and memes. And they have certainly done a great job, as the page has amassed over 340k followers over the past few years. Although meme culture was certainly not around when these paintings were created, it's great to see the fusion of modern and classical takes on them. Many of these pieces of artwork probably were just regular images meant to capture everyday life at the time they were made, so it’s only natural to comment on them with modern equivalents of everyday problems or relatable situations.

    Moses was high on DMT, look it up. The area that theologians agree the burning bush took place in (the Sinai peninsula) is known for three things to this very day 1) heat vents and dry climate 2) plants spontaneously catching fire due to said heat and dryness, and 3) plants that contain the same psychoactive molecules (DMT) as Ayahuasca plants. I doubt Moses realized he was high on DMT at first, but almost everyone that smokes it describes an experience as if "God had spoken directly to them". Then later, Moses secludes himself for a long time up on a mountain to "talk to God"? We know what you were doing up there. EDIT: Correction of saying he was specifically high on the Ayahuasca plant to more accurately say that he was high on plants that have the same psychoactive molecules (DMT) as Ayahuasca.

    Technically,there were 3 tablets and 15 commandments in all. Except one of the tablets slipped out of Moses arms, and it shattered on the ground, into thousands of clay shards. I wonder what the 5 more commandments were,on that other tablet??

    The page might even inspire you to delve into the world of classical artwork. So we reached out to blogger and creator of the Véronais Art Blog, J.T. Lanci, to hear a little bit about how he got interested in classical art and what he loves most about it. “I spent a few years living in my grandfather's home city of Lanciano, Italy. There I was exposed to classical art and learned a whole new vocabulary for talking about it,” he told Bored Panda. "What really made me fall in love with classical art is its universality. Classical art tells stories that speak to us as sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, spouses, and every other role life hands us as human beings. Classical art is for all of us, and it tells the stories that have defined us since the beginning of time.”

    We also asked J.T. how relevant classical art is today. “Classical art is more relevant today than ever,” he said. “In the modern world we are bombarded with messages about who we are or who we are supposed to be, and classical art grounds us in our natural form. Moreover, the beauty of classical art has stood the test of time and inspires us to share our own inner beauty with the world.”

    Crosses were pagan symbols, they symbolised the four seasons. They existed long before Christianity…. Crucifixions were carried out on people’s chosen religious symbol… IE, Jewish people on a star of David etc. So if Jesus was wearing crosses everywhere, and crucified on a cross, he probably worshipped the old gods 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not religious… just always happy to help educate the masses on how Christianity is 99% made up of pagan rituals and festivals, to wash over them and turn people Christian at the time.

    Next, J.T. had some tips for anyone who is interested in learning about classical art but just does not know where to start. “I would encourage anyone that is interested in learning more about classical art to take an art appreciation course. These courses are often offered by local museums or online. There are also many wonderful art analysis videos available for free on YouTube,” he suggested. “Try searching for ‘art analysis of’ and check out some of the incredible videos that pop up. Of course, there are also great resources available on my blog, The Véronais Art Blog.”

    Not true. Less is used regularly in that way. The current obsession with correcting people who use "less" is to misunderstand language. "This isn't an example of how modern English is going to the dogs. Less has been used this way for well over a thousand years—nearly as long as there's been a written English language."- Merrian Webster.

    No, lords were definitely not okay with their serfs working less than half the days of a year. And, you need to tend fields nearly every day, you need to tend livestock nearly every day. If these are your sources of food for your family, you will all starve to death if you only work 150 days a year and slack off the other 215 days.

    You probably thought you were stating the obvious but clearly most people are willing to just accept claims without questioning. Serfs were expected to work 150+ unpaid days a year for their overlord on top of working their own piece of land. This is basic primary school history!

    Those weren't holidays. There was ONLY 150 days of work. Of which they got paid. The rest of the time, they had no work. Couldn't leave. They belonged to the land. And if the land was not profitable, too bad. They had to spread that 150 days of pay into 365 days of life. Talk of too little butter over too much bread.

    No cross was necessary for Mary. Joseph bought her story. I wonder how many other women have tried that same line? (After the process of giving birth to Jesus, with him coming out of the birth canal, wouldn’t that complicate Mary’s claim of being a virgin.)

    On his blog, J.T. explains how special it was that, even when it was first created, classical art could be appreciated by anyone and everyone. Art should not be a luxury or a privilege. “Classical art is therefore important because it is an expression of art directed at common people,” he writes. “While it is true that in many cases classical art was commissioned or endorsed by aristocrats and church officials, its messaging is downright proletarian in delivery. And despite the modern impression of classical art as a taste acquired by the upper-classes, it is only much later in art history that we find forms of expression that deliberately exclude the masses.”

    While memes and modern art might be more popular among people today than Rembrandt, classical art continues to draw crowds. Massive crowds, in fact, in the case of the Louvre. In 2018, the Louvre hit an all-time record of 10.2 million visitors throughout the entire year. This was not only a personal record, however, this was the most visitors any museum in the world has ever seen. Interestingly, the museum’s website credits a few factors for this rise in patrons: the recovery of tourism in France, the flagship exhibition “Delacroix (1798–1863).”, the Louvre Abu Dhabi (which had recently celebrated its first anniversary), and Beyoncé and JAY-Z’s “Apes**t” video with its tribute to some of the museum’s greatest artworks. Even the Louvre recognizes that there’s nothing wrong with combining modern and classical art, and it can actually increase modern viewers’ interest in classical pieces.

    It’s not surprising that people love seeing these pieces of art on Instagram with funny captions because people love seeing art in general. In fact, One study by professor Cees van Riel of the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University found that art museums actually have a better reputation than some of the world’s most highly respected brands like Rolex, Lego and Canon. The most admired museum worldwide turned out to be The Louvre, with the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam falling closely behind in second and third place out of the world’s top 18 art museums.

    Ironically, they used the staff of Caduceus (two snakes) instead of Aesculapius (one snake). Caduceus represents commerce, not medicine. However, if this mural is in the US then perhaps it is fitting.

    Asclepius, the Greek demigod of medicine, was literally able to stop death or bring those already back from the dead with the use of his staff. Unfortunately during the middle ages his staff (a stick with a single snake whose bite was antivenom that could heal any poison), was confused with caduceus (two snakes around a winged staff), the staff of Hermes. Ignorant scholars did not know they were different as Hermes was famous and most (still) didn't know of Asclepius as there are few stories ever written about him. Hermes was the messenger of the gods and God of travelers, diplomats, and peace. His staff got the the two snakes when he threw it between two fighting snakes and upon encircling it, immediately stopped fighting. Other fun fact - Asclepius was the first Caesarean section baby by the Greek myths (cut out by his father Apollo after his mother died). His name means to split open.

    More info from wikipedia :" The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. It is often used as a symbol of medicine, especially in the United States, despite its ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom. The modern use of the caduceus as a symbol of medicine became established in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century as a result of well-documented mistakes, misunderstandings of symbology and classical culture.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The correct symbol for medicine is the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and no wings.[5] "

    Of course they're insecure. They're mocked and denigrated from childhood for any behavior deemed inappropriate for a person with a penis, so they put a lot of work into maintaining an arbitrary and fluctuating façade, constantly suppressing aspects of themselves and their emotions. I'd be insecure too. Upside: I see current generations of parents being way better at letting boys and girls be themselves.

    I think the problem is more the actual notion of "feminine side". It's not a feminine side, it's just another aspect of their personality. If it wasn't considered "feminine" in the first place, there wouldn't be an issue. People are people. Enjoy being who you are without feeling like you have to conform to one of a small number of choices of personality type.

    In honor of classical art, let’s take a moment to appreciate one of the most famous pieces of art of all time: the Mona Lisa. Leonardo da Vinci’s famous portrait of a woman painted onto a poplar wood panel, the Mona Lisa is renowned for the beautiful woman it features and the debate of whether or not she is smiling. The woman featured in the painting is believed to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo. One reason the Mona Lisa is so special is due to da Vinci’s use of the sfumato technique, which uses subtle gradations of light and shadow to show form and makes it clear that he understood how her skull was shaped.

    What makes the Greek gods so fascinating is they are almost all horrible people. Zeus knocked up Hercules' mom by transforming into her husband and drugging her when she asked questions. He also raped women by turning into a shower of gold (kid was Perseus), swan (kid was Helen of Troy), and bull (child was King Minos, ergo the Minotaur in Crete). His wife (and sister) Hera agreed to marriage because he raped her too. She said no, so he turned into cuckoo (her favorite bird) and turned back once they were alone again. She said yes out of shame. Before this marriage, she was actually the Queen of the Gods and ruled Heaven and Earth. The term cuckold arose from that event.

    In Greek mythology, pretty much all of the heroes are sons or descendants of Zeus. With a mortal mother. Oh, and Hera liked to inflict torturous punishments on the women Zeus were with or their children, despite the fact that the women were rarely responsible (c'mon, you try to refuse the f*cking king of heaven) and the children were never responsible. Hercules is the Roman adaptation of Heracles, the Greek hero whose name literally means "Glory of Hera" 'cause Hera made his life hell and he became famous from it.

    This made me laugh harder then I should have! xD

    As any good piece of art should, the Mona Lisa has provoked some interesting responses from viewers over the years and endured it’s fair share of abuse. In 1911, it was stolen right off the wall by Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian carpenter who was working at the Louvre at the time. He claimed that the painting should be in an Italian museum rather than a French one, but some speculate he intended to make copies of it to sell on the black market. Since then, the Mona Lisa has had acid, a rock and a terra cotta mug thrown at her, but thankfully, she is safe now. The museum finally learned to place her behind bulletproof glass several decades ago.

    We have modern mathematics, classical optics, and gravitational theory because the plague. In 1665, he went into a two year quarantine and they all came out of that. They believed the plague was part of Armageddon (1666 ended in 666 so it must be the end of the world) and when 1667 came around and it didn't, Newton rejoined the world with all of his crazy ideas from never talking to anyone for most of his isolation. He pretty much went crazy and genius was released.

    Actually the plague and resulting quarantine contributed to him having the quiet space to work out his ideas. Of course some of those ideas were astrology so... yeah.

    I work at another museum and 90% of our WhatsApp is how the British Museum steals everything; how desperately uncool the Tate is and how no one seems to have noticed that the Portrait Gallery has been closed for like four years..

    There's a transition period between being fully awake and being fully asleep during which you are temporarily paralyzed. Often, you're awake enough to remember it, but asleep enough to experience visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations that seem real. It's extremely frightening.

    It was much worse actually, I read about it. Absolutely terrifying. The doctor cut open the conscious patient while a group of really strong men were holding them down... the doctors were trained to operate really quickly.

    yep. or you were tied down. they would try and give you alcohol to help, which obviously makes you bleed more but nobody knew that at the time. I think one of the first anaesthetics was cocaine, which does work a little bit. I believe opium and later heroin was also used. But until we found Ether/Laughing Gas there was no general anaesthesia. And then after ketamine was discovered we fianlly got some effective general anaesthetics. But nobody *wanted* people to suffer, it was just the only choice sometimes. Sometimes you *have* to operate. Ship and military doctors were renouned for their quickness, and in fact doing an amputation quickly increases the chance of survival bc a quick cut triggers the blood vessels to contract and close.

    there was a belief for a while (in the medieval period particularly but it extended I think up into maybe the 18th century?) that children were inherently bad so holy figures were never depicted as realistic children. weird!! but true.
