Is ‘David’ porn? See for yourself, Italians ask Florida parents

[Theywillneverlearn!]

Nebulous word salad.

Porn is intended for sexual gratification.

Renaissance art is not meant for sexual gratification.

Except seemingly to some MAGA parents in Florida.

democrats consider drag queen shows at elementary schools "Renaissance art". STFU you idiot.

Art in my view is something that takes skill and creativity to create. If you or I can reproduce it, or get close, it isn't art. Porn isn't generally art because all it takes is a camera and some cash to pay a whore to let you take nude photos...

"Caligula" is an art.

Funny. You don't understand art or pornography.

Porn is in the eyes of the beholder. What repels some is great to others.

Marla Stone, head of humanities studies at the American Academy in Rome, said the Florida incident was another episode in escalating U.S. culture wars and questioned how the statue could be considered so controversial as to warrant a prior warning.

“What we have here is a moral crusade against the body, sexuality, and gender expression and an ignorance of history,” Stone said in an email. “The incident is about fear, fear of beauty, of difference, and of the possibilities embedded in art.”

Michelangelo Buonarroti sculpted the “David” from 1501 to 1504 after being commissioned by the Cathedral of Florence. The statue is the showpiece of the Accademia, and helps draw 1.7 million visitors each year to the museum.

“It is incredibly sought-after by Americans who want to do selfies and enjoy the beauty of this statue,” Director Hollberg said.

Yeah but you and yours are not innocent bystanders.

"Caligula" is an art.

Caligula is, as a movie, an exercise in porn and excess as that was the point in making it, while as an emperor Caligula was one of the most vile in history.

Funnier, you still need about ten years to become an adult and understand anything...

Eat shit you worthless troll.

[Poor Richard Saunders]

All these comments from those on the left who cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman. One just cannot make this shit up. No surprise why people are leaving the democrat party in droves.

It seems it's those on the right that doesn't want kids to see what makes a man different from a woman.

[zymurgy]

Here comes the part where the repressed and repressive Reichwingers pop up and yell that Europeans are all amoral perverted liberals so who wants to be like them?

Caligula is not being shown to kids in schools. It is irrelevant. We were taken to the museum when I was growing up. It was a bus trip. We got out of school. Nobody made a big deal out of the naked statues or breasts in the paintings. We were kids, went home as normal and it was not even mentioned by kids the next day. Rightys who object to art are the perverts. They see problems where there are none. They want to impose their twisted values on everyone.

ROME — The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece the “David” invited parents and students from a Florida charter school to visit after complaints about a lesson featuring the statue forced the principal to resign.

Florence Mayor Dario Nardella also tweeted an invitation for the principal to visit so he can personally honor her. Confusing art with pornography was “ridiculous,” Nardella said.

Nudity does not fit any legal definitions of pornography in the U. S.
