In your opinion what is the work of art that best represents the beauty of Western civilization?
In mine the "Pietà " by Michelangelo
Boring thread
Jayden Ward
Isaac Brooks
A sculpture from the Ancient Sumerians showing the use of a laptop commonly used today.
Landon Myers
st. peter's basilica
Josiah Morris
More ancient Sumerian artwork. Many depict men wearing watches, which is common today.
Landon Watson
Another example of a watch.
Joseph Torres
How can one man make something so beautiful?
Catholic history is so magnificaent.
Noah Wood
for me it's the Mcchicken
Kayden Young
the best is sagrada familia
Carter Walker

Andrew Foster
You mean bracelet.
Henry Lee
care bear fanart
Christopher Ross

Alexander Perez
Season 2 of Totally Spies.
Hunter Rogers
I think it's a watch. The Annunaki, builders of the Pyramids, were far more technologically advanced than humans of that time.
Gavin Brooks
>la pieta
>literally plebe tier
Levi Phillips
The film "Andrei Rublev" by Tarkovsky does it for me. Specifically American though I would say Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
Brody Johnson
The "Veiled Christ" is far better
Colton Ward
Ancient UFO sightings just like today.
Thomas Nguyen
The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt.
He did this at 24 years old.
Zachary Williams
I like the veiled ones also but that fucking net, yeesh.
Ian Jenkins
Quite impressive.
The "Pietà " was made by a 24 years old Michelangelo.
Charles Scott
I went to San Severo once, the chapel and the sculptures were magnificent.
Pity that they are in the African part of Italy.
Noah Brown
The Holocaust. Best performance art of all time.
Liam Kelly
That looks like an early depiction of Deadly Man-flu
Jacob Rivera
Agree, but the gas chambers special effects were terrible.
Ryder Russell

Juan Kelly

Jonathan Howard
Complete degradation of the human spirit and the glory of God. Looks like a fucking termite mound/mud mosque you'd find in Africa.
Jose Edwards
I'm very partial to ancient Greek stuff. Reading The Iliad right now for the first time since high school. The battle sequences are so visceral.
We're definitely standing on the shoulders of giants.

>Ancient Summarian
>Completely Hellenic looking in terms of their facial features
Come on son, this is Greco-Roman art and definitely not Summarian
Jace Young
Mostly anything by Bach
Daniel Ramirez

James Phillips
Defeated, Requiem. by Vasily Vereschagin
Or, if you mean any genre of art and not just painting/sculpture, then Julius Caesar by Shakespeare.
Dylan Allen
Excellent taste, my friend. Bouguereau is God tier.
