Isenheim Altarpiece
Christ's body hangs green and pocked with sores, painted for a hospital whose patients saw their own ravaged flesh.

Christ's body hangs green and pocked with sores, painted for a hospital whose patients saw their own ravaged flesh.

On More's island nobody owns anything, everyone works six hours a day, and gold goes into chamber pots. More invented the word utopia for it and the literature of the ideal society followed.

A crush of leering faces fills every inch, and Christ moves through the middle of it with his eyes shut.
