@KetaMeanGal For sure, then you add all the degrading ultra-violent porn being absorbed to the point of desensitised fantasies from a young age... hand-crafted depravity

Michelangelo’s First Painting, Created When He Was Only 12 or 13 Years-Old...
Known as The Torment of Saint Anthony or The Temptation of Saint Anthony, this painting is widely regarded as Michelangelo’s earliest surviving work, created when he was just twelve or thirteen years old. The scene depicts Saint Anthony the Great, an Egyptian monk from the 3rd century, being violently assaulted and tempted by grotesque desert demons. Rather than portraying quiet meditation, the painting captures spiritual warfare as something physical, chaotic, and terrifying.
Michelangelo reportedly painted this work as a copy of an engraving by the German artist Martin Schongauer. Even so, the young artist went beyond simple imitation. According to early accounts, Michelangelo studied real fish from the market to better understand and render the scales, wings, and textures of the demons, an early sign of the obsessive anatomical curiosity that would define his career.
The composition is crowded, unstable, and dramatic. Saint Anthony is suspended midair, surrounded on all sides, yet his calm expression contrasts sharply with the frenzy around him. That tension between inner resolve and external violence would become a recurring theme throughout Michelangelo’s later masterpieces.
This painting is now housed at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, and is considered the only surviving panel painting definitively attributed to Michelangelo’s childhood.
