Classical and Contemporary Art Comparison

Text on the meme

final project for my art history class is to compare/contrast classical and contemporary art, I am very tempted to do this pair I am an art history teacher and I would accept this. Also look at Bernini's Ecstasy of St Teresa. Orgasmic face right there. Yes, that occurred to me as well and I appreciate the feedback lol

What it means

A screenshot of a Twitter exchange compares expressive classical sculpture faces with exaggerated manga art. An art history teacher approves the pairing and points out the orgasmic expression in Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, turning the comparison into a bawdy art-history joke. It is used as a reaction to suggest that seemingly refined classical art can be just as suggestive or dramatic as contemporary anime imagery.

Who

Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Джан Лоренцо Бернини)Saint Teresa of Ávila (Святая Тереза Авильская)
