You all do realize that this is the same type of “medical science” used to diagnose Trump as unfit for the office, right?

Mehra points to a lack of eyebrows, receding hair line, a lesion near her left eye, a puffy neck and swollen hands.

Venitian women often removed their eyebrows. It was a Renaissance thing. The 'lesion' could very well be just a flaw in the painting, it looks to have been added long after the original was made. As for a puffy neck and swollen hands, the model had given birth not long before she sat for the portrait.

Some people want to fabricate their 15 minutes.

From “45 Communist Goals” by Cleon Skousen: Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35

January 10, 1963:

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

“In 1944, Picasso joined the French Communist Party, attended the World Congress of Intellectuals in Defense of Peace in Poland, and in 1950 received the Stalin Peace Prize from the Soviet government.[68]”

Brings to mind that weird scene at the end of Psycho, where Norman Bates is sitting in a rocking chair dressed up as his mother.

Planet of the apes?

Probably.   (But I don't think you're allowed to say "ape", either!)        :-)
