Oh...some artistic nudity, so depending on where you work NSFW.

And a hat tip to Everlasting Blort who reposted this today.

Another similar art project is the Nachtwacht360. Julius Rooymans found models who looked like the figures in Rembrandt’s massive Nightwatch painting and recreated costumes and props for them.

So much time and thought put into the materials, and yet they choose a thin model for Danaë (an artwork celebrating the thickness of her thighs). It is saddening.
