DeepSight:


You are very wrong. That is a ridiculous and even immoral application of money.

We well understand that its the name of the artist and history behind the work that pushes its value (because other than that any roadside artist can replicate the work)... we also understand that it could be an investment.

None of these facts take away the immoral absurdity of the excess involved, given the amount of desperate need in the world.

Socialists and moralists irk me.

Everyone must not be a f*cking Mormon. It is not excessive and there is absolutely nothing immoral about it. Your definition of excess is someone else's definition of not enough. If the entire country decided not to consume beer this weekend, and instead donate the money to the IDPs, we'd feed them comfortably for 1 year+.

But you wouldn't campaign for that. Instead you're hurtful that someone who is wealthy is looking for an alternate way to preserve his wealth. That my good friend is immoral.

-Lord

I knew it...only white people would be crazy enough to pay such a ridiculous amount for a painting

My uncle would have used thugs or charm to silence other buyers. Then he would have gotten it for free.

He bought a house at Victoria island lagos for just 150 thousand Naira only as against the original 50 million. How he did it still remains a puzzle to me

HE IS A SON OF D DEVIL. HE IS A LIAR AND HIS FATHER IS D MASTER FATHER OF LIES. SO U CAN BELIEVE HIM TO UR OWN PERIL.

too much of movie

There's definitely a whole lot more to dat painting dan jus d picture if not how would anyone bid almost half a billion dollars for a painting. In my mind I'm already picturing Illuminati trying to use Robert Langdon to find d code hidden in d painting



U know its still too early to start with ur lies, wait till d sun comes up... They're actually getting boring

You must have read the novel *Angels and Demons!*

I'm I the only one who thinks this is madness?

an unclad naked madman thinks he is the only correct man. Don't intend insult

I am neither a socialist or moralist and half literate people who make assumptions from nothing and extrapolate universes from grains of sand certainly irk me very much. I must add that people narcissistic enough to address themselves as "lord" are a vacant and vacuous drum altogether not worth the sweat from the balls of an orangutan.

I am a cheerful hedonist myself, little would you know, but purchasing a painting for that sum is indeed a thoughtless excess. If it does not strike you at once as being so, no matter: for there are after all billions of thoughtless dunderheads such as yourself in the world. The acute but simple sensitivity to reality that could elicit such a cognition is simply lacking in you and there is nothing I can do to bestir a sensitivity which does not exist.

Of course not much better is to be expected from an Ill educated blue collar half wit addressing himself as "Lord".

Now go right back to the lavatory where your day job as a cleaner is and concentrate harder.

if you work hard,play hard! If no one made the money for you, let no one tell you how to spend it. our hypocrisy in nigeria has no equal. oga, you didn't hear that the buyer is the saviour of the world.

Jesus can't even have such look.

lol! Guy why u dey take am personal na?

Funjosh:




When you have the money, you spend it crazily and people think you are mad

I am here now working my heart out like dog and no one is telling me how to make it easily. some are even making it very hard for me to make. When God smiles down on me tomorrow,Freez and his 1 jamb form crew will be on NL dictating for me who not to pay tithes to. mtewww Na lie and hate go kill all of you one by one. if it costs 4trillion and you worked hard for the money,buy it. it is your hussle

How do u know! Have u seen him before in real life??

Totally worth it!!!
Its da Vinci people
Only michaengelo can compare with da vinci as the greatest artist the world has ever seen

Biggaboi:

I'm a Dan Brown fan...

please when will the painting of Lilith be auction.... ?.... I want to buy that one

Da Vinci never made an art without some secrets embedded within it. He remains the the greatest Cryptologist the world has ever know. Why do you think the person who bought it is anonymous... There is more to that painting than half a billion dollars. There are still secrets to be uncovered in this world like Queen Sheba's wealth, King Solomon's gold and so many others. The quest continue for a lot of adventurers out there. I believe that money is small compared to what Mr Anonymous will gain from it.

Paulpaulpaul:


See you, most of his work are rumoured to have secret codes and maps. Do you think people are that stupid? Ordinarily art is life

This is pure ignorance.

Leonardo is a master, one of a kind, even greater than Michaelangelo. His works are very rare and the most prominent in the art world. That money is based on sentimental value, no hidden maps or anything of that nature.

Yes but Da Vinci edges Michaelangelo with his ability in cryptography. He dint just draw. He was a master strategist and builder.
And like you said, TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY

I agree....
Michangelo was superhuman, i can't begin to say the things he was capable of....totally mindblowing!!!
He's been my icon since I was little
Learnt how to write backwards just because I read he could do it

drtee247:

secret map to where？ otuoke or daura？

Go back and read slowly now, try to check where I wrote rumoured and where I said art is life. And for your information, Da Vinci was a cryptographer

Where is Nnamdi Kanu's image?

I didn't say it emphatically, I said rumoured. Who doesn't know the price was sentimental value? Mona Lisa by the same man, as common as it is, has secret code
s

You may doubt it but he was a great cryptographer

like pastors that fly private jets, build expensive schools but still dont pay tax?
wake up man, humans are the cause of their own problems not rich people...

There are lots of conspiracy theories about leonardo da vinci's painting. His other painting of monalisa is said to contain a cord in the eyes, nt just in the eye but the pupil precisely. Only a microscope cn be use to see the code. So, this portrait also has a code. Hmm

Everyone who has ever had an issue with my nick has proven to be intimidated by the coherence of my thought process.

And the proof is that while I actually explain why I think you were wrong, you used four paragraphs to say nothing about the point I raised but your opinion of me, which is irrelevant.

Now why would you do that, if not because your lofty, self-righteous position is not based on facts or reason but an emotional mixup of ambiguous buzzwords.

Now, if you could catch a breath and put your thinking cap on, could you explain why it is immoral to spend half a billion on a noteworthy investment that would CERTAINLY beat inflation unlike many other investments and it isn't immoral that people could choose to go for two days without drinking beer to feed helpless people for a year but wouldn't?

Oh and this is the definition of moralist:

a person who teaches or promotes morality.

You come on a public forum to bash a high-value sale of art on the basis of "morality" and you think that definition is not spot-on about you?

-Lord

God bless you my brother, you have spoken well, and just as in Blindspot this picture might be a clue to averting a lot of disaster.
