Caravaggio knew
Donatello, Albrecht too
the body sings a song
as beauty, coming through
Skin is just a medium
beneath, the heart controls
every stroke, of brush
an artistry, of soul
Words are simple instruments
they sing as would wet paint
pause at what you think you see
most-times
that's just what
it ain't

I can say I'm guilty, I've seen masterpiece nudes.
And thought yup, *********** until I examined the detail and the love in the making, the reverence of the model, and the love of the brush. :)
