The exquisite religious artwork of Giovanni Gasparro - beyond 'blood libel'
(WhiteBeauty)Many are familiar with the Italian artist Giovanni Gasparro because of his portrait depicting Jewish religious scholars involved in a blood libel ritual, but for the Christians on here, it's worth beholding some of his many, many other works.
He is especially known for his detailed and evocative depiction of hands and other anatomical features. His glowing portraits of Christ and the Apostles communicate such incredible feeling.
I like sharing his many artworks with friends and family without revealing the controversial (((anti semitic))) painting he is best known for (you can view it here for sale as a reprint:

But for those who despair about the present and future of white art and creation, I think his works show incredible optimism and beauty.
