Definitely Catholic bashing.
"..."Artists from DaVinci to Botticelli have imbedded subliminal images..."
Just in time for the DaVinci Code movie.
Funny, I have a wonderful reproduction of The Birth of Venus on my bedroom wall. Have loved that painting from childhood.
It's the clamshell, and the colors, not the nude which btw was Bocticelli's mistress, Simonetta, that are wonderous. Not to mention his technique.
All this embedded "Satanic" nonsense sounds like Savonarola burning art in the public square. ~Or a bunch of neo-Cromwells.
It will just add more hype to a movie that lends itself to the worst blasphemy.
