Link broken. But I think I read it already a day/s ago.


Art? It's all so subjective and often open to ridicule.

A few here and elsewhere jumped to conclusions because of how the Beethoven figure was displaying a finger.

A case of unwisely projecting modern symbolism back to another century. I would love to see the original painting, and, it's size.
