So I’ve been pretty disgusted lately with the way every damn thing is photoshopped these days to make it look “better”. Some of these whittalinks demonstrate the fact that no human can possibly look as perfect as these “photographs” seem to indicate.
There is a famous portrait of an old man and his grandson, by Ghirlandaio (who was Michelangelo’s teacher IIRC), where little effort seems to have been made to spare the old guy’s vanity.
