Catholic art.

I'm using patronage and affiliation as my main criteria not subject matter. Even still, the context is important. It's one of a series of frescos having to do with the growth and spread of Christianity. During the Renaissance making connections to the classical past was believed to give the faith more credibility.

It's the same sort of inappropriate familiarity that we get in situations like the Gulf Wars. Bush and Blair were referred to in the media by their titles, but Saddam Hussein was always called by his first name, to reinforce a pecking order. To illustrate, imagine if the Iraq Times ran reports such as "Yesterday, the city was bombed by George and Tony".

It's a joke.
