I have almost zero interest in didactic art, loathed this painting the first time I saw it, and now loathe the "artist" for his ham-fisted defense of the painting as seen in his point-by-point screed below it. Fuck him.
On a lighter note, I think it was Bill Maher who lampooned this on his show a while back, wondering if the boy pointing to the document in Jesus' hand was looking at a Catholic Church's settlement offer. If so, it might be the only honest aspect of the work.
