Lmao why is his pant rip?

The painting supposedly portrays St. Vitus, who was apocryphally boiled in a cauldron of oil, but that sure as shit looks like a bread oven to me. Vitus was a contemporary of Diocletian, and given the whole "what's fourteen centuries between friends?" ethos of the clothing (so common as to be normally unremarkable, btw) there's a reasonably good chance that the artist just said fuck it and painted the food preparation implement that looked the coolest to him.
There's also St. Lawrence (of Panisperna), who was martyred by roasting, but on a gridiron, not in an oven. Somebody with better skills than me will have to figure out what's really going on here.
As for the hose, that's probably just how they were made.
"Chat, am I cooked?"
Need me a pair of those butt crack pants
Bruh. I was wheezing enough to hurt my back. Thanks
I find this deeply disturbing and wish I had not seen it. Not sure why exactly in terms of underlying ethics but there is a sharp reason somewhere in there that tingles at my intuition.
That's "The Martyrdom of Saint Vitus." If it makes you feel better, he survives this as well as many other tortures. His associates, the two mourners, are Modestus and Crecentia.
Survived being put in a furnace 🤔
Oh, my first thought was cremation. Makes more sense, as the guy doesn't look very dead.
We seem to have some basic instincts that prevent us from doing harm to other humans even if we don't know them.
Military and fascists have to go to extreme lengths to de-hunanize their opponents so their pawns inflict maximum damage regardless of instincts.
In the same way that nature documentaries do all they can to anthromopo.... ahh I don't have a dictionary, I mean assign human traits to non-human animals so we feel extra sad or happy for them.
