As if 500 years of being nude isn’t controversy enough.

The artistic intoxication is caused by a combination of several things, including the stress of the trip, an “overdose” of beautiful art and the degree of sensitivity of the person. It is one of the top tier masterpieces in the world, a universal art token, conceivably expected to cause a little bit of madness for unsuspecting spectators.
