Context

I guess this provides a bit of context and links the work to other work in art history - I had seen Sam Taylor Wood's image before, but not with the bottom bit - damn. I thought that bit was original. Both are totally referencing the Mantegna. Interesting. I always thought of the Mantegna with my image - I remember seeing it in Art History classes in high school - there's another one as well that I can't think of now - I think it's a Dutch painter, and I think there's a crown of thorns on the Christ figure. Let me know if anyone knows.
