I was a bit concerned because when vm said he was <em>delighted</em> about your <em>sight</em>, I thought you went blind. Oh well, no more comment for me today, it's past midnight this side of the Pacific. Ta! So you can read the posts!

You can interpret it any way you want, but it is without doubt a rape attempt. I personnally despise this picture, and all the work on Verlato's site for that matter, but I would not go as far as condemning it as child rape, because it is a painting and a piece of virtual art, not a photograph. The number and diversity of the reactions is great, one "vm" <em>adored</em> the picture so much he even decided to delete milkboys from his favorites, as I understand moving it to his home page instead... ;-) Come on guys, Rich is right.

Don't know if that will effect the interpretations. The two angels are David Bowie and Elvis Presley, for the general information of commenters. Don’t know if that will effect the interpretations.

I agree with the users who referred to the sacrifice of Isaac. Now, as for the father's hand hovering over his groin, I'm inclined to think that he withdrew it in fright. Nothing about this suggests rape. And, really, I think the painting would be more meaningful if it depicted violence, rather than rape. Isn't it something of a religious sacrifice when the boy is introduced to masculinity through this kind of violence? Well that's my take on it.
