This month’s achievement is making it to the front page of Reddit with a historical art fact! Maxing out at 17.4k upvotes, the post sat at the top of r/instagramreality for a full day. The sub is dedicated to ridiculing heavily photoshopped, warped, and filtered photos of models on Instagram. The mannerist style painters often purposefully exaggerated human anatomy, in this case to highlight a woman’s sexuality to appeal to the male gaze, proving that Instagram reality was around long before the platform itself. Although, it is said that the adjustments Ingres made to the subject in Grande Odalisque was actually intentional in order to make the painting feel unsettling – which is kind of meta if you ask me.
