Gay men, the force of naked bodies – Caravaggio meets Rubens","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo men, muscular, almost naked\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their hands reach out, firm and sure. No hesitation, no hiding. This is gay passion with the weight of Rubens' bodies and the darkness of Caravaggio. Designed by us today with high regard for Caravaggio, the bad boy of the Baroque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610): Thug, drunkard, genius – and the most openly gay painter of his time. In an era when sodomy – the term used to malign sex between men – was punishable by death, he lived as he was. Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte took him into his palazzo – as a protégé, as an artist, as a man to whom he gave more than just commissions. What transpired between them has been discreetly omitted by history. Not by the paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Paul Rubens (1577–1640): The Fleming painted bodies like no other – muscles, flesh, weight, life. Men in his works are not silhouettes; they are strength. He never painted a kiss between two men. This does – with his bodies, Caravaggio's darkness, and what both omitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis image is not purely Caravaggio and not purely Rubens – it is both at the same time. This is how we wanted it, how we tried it. A conscious experiment: the darkness and drama of one, the bodies and musculature of the other. Two giants of the Baroque, brought together for a moment neither of them was ever allowed to paint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new image that was never painted. But should have been painted. Had to be painted. \u003cstrong\u003eHistory painting in oil.\u003c\/strong\u003e What the old masters had to conceal and omit, this picture reveals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCanvas Print – Premium Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrint-on-Demand: Each piece is printed personally for you after your order.
