If I dust off the old Art History learnings, the Madonna would have been painted in a way that appeared other-worldly so as to separate her from what any mere mortal would identify as human. Said differently, Mary’s boobs have to be painted in a way that don’t look like human boobs so humans 1) don’t get lusty in church and 2) retain their awe of the story and its characters and thus maintain the Christian power structure.
Damn. That is one firm boob.
I mean, if you’re breastfeeding they do get like that sometimes, but the placement of the boobs so far apart is what weirds me out
Somebody has a bad case of capsular contraction and needs to sue her plastic surgeon for malpractice.
There’s room for a third one in there.
