I have tried to argue signs only matter to people who think they have meaning.

Wow neat observation.i love when people are able to explain to me paintings in depth, like with hidden artistic flares or otherwise ignored, unnoticed subtlety. It makes you really appreciate some art that otherwise doesn't immediately stand out to you or strike you as relatable, or you see just like a party of royalty or some 17th century ball or dinner party maybe.

Yeah, I was trying to debate this point earlier with people. I find it funny when they say there are numbers that are sacred as opposed to other numbers.

Then you begin to understand each characters in depth story that the artist was telling and you notice there is really this intricate story being told in a still photo, and it does it well, like davincis last supper. I watched a video on a art historian explain the mentality and davincis though process when creating it to do somethimg other last supper photos didn't do prior, which was hide Jesus betrayer among the 12 disciples, opposed to other prior prices making the villain obvious, but he subtly placed the bag of coins in his hand, which he traded for the whereabouts of Jesus to the Romans. Really interesting and knowing the history behind other paintings of the last supper and how davincis broke that norm is really a neat fact that made me appreciate a painting I felt I saw so much in my life I wasny lookkng at it through the eyes of people seeing it for the first time in that era, where it was truly not par for the course
