Also, that painting you linked to as being "powerful" was painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. He painted in the style of Italian Renaissance painters, though he's French and lived in the mid-1800's. I guess that's cultural appropriation. He also married one of his students, which of course is a big no-no nowadays, since he was a man in power over her. Looks like you can't like this painting any more now.

You see how dumb it is to apply 2019 political correctness to past history?

I actually complimented the painting.

Its revealing how much backlash my personal choice of art and whom to admire, has triggered.
