What feelings does this painting bring you?

Guru Age: 43

This painting of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for Euros 30 million. The painting may look perverse but the story behind is heart-touching & inspiring.

The poor man was sentenced to "death by starvation" for thieving a loaf of bread during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The woman was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cell. She was allowed to visit him daily but was searched thoroughly such that no food was taken in.

When after 4 months the man still lived on with no weight loss, the authorities were perplexed and started spying on her in the cell and to their utter astonishment found her to breastfeed her father to the fullest sharing her baby's milk.

A case was initially filed against her but realizing the love & compassion of a daughter towards her father softened the judge's heart and eventually, they decided to pardon the father and release him free.

... surprising backstory...

Though I wouldn't be surprised if this painting was cursed.

She probably learned her compassion from her father.

  Well... Just to clarify what I meant;
  
  She cares deeply for her father. He must have been a good man and her compassion came from him.
  
  Did you think I said, "passion?"

If that's a true story, it's a good one. I'm not disturbed in any way by this painting.

Extreme fear and shock. This painting is very disturbing and the woman seems to be in a lot of distress.

  It’s terrible the methods that people have been forced to succumb to i order to survive brutal conditions caused by corrupt leaders. But this one shows intense love also. However I agree it’s disturbing.

  No, it was sneaky. He was supposed to be starving to death

  I think that is way more conspicuous than just quickly dropping in something to eat.

  How on earth is breastfeeding incest? If you were starving to death id be willing to bet that you'd drink breastmilk too.
