Yes, It Is Polyphony and a Map: Revisiting the 72 Verses of St. Martial Arts Pub Date : 2024-04-17 Laura Steenberge
The enigmatic 72 Verses for St. Martial is one of the many works by Ademar de Chabannes (989–1034) crafted to promote the false narrative that St. Martial of Limoges, rather than being a third-century bishop, was actually a first-century apostle. The composition is visually striking due to the acrostic formed from the first letter of each tercet, MARCIALIS APOSTOLVS XRISTI, and its two overlapping

Vague, impressive language used in descriptions (bullshit) is thought to make art seem more profound and valuable to the viewer.
