@mostafaelfouly6: DOSTOYEVSKY vs NIETZSCHE Hans Holbein the Younger painted The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb in 1521-1522, a shockingly horizontal image, about 30.5 x 200 cm, that forces you to look at Christ as an actual corpse, not a symbol. It's in Kunstmuseum Basel, and the date and Holbein's initials are even painted into the work. When "Fyodor Dostoevsky" saw it in Basel in 1867, his wife Anna wrote that he stood in front of it "as if stunned," then insisted on returning to look again. The encounter echoes through The Idiot, where the painting becomes a pressure test for belief itself. This is why the bench scene matters. Dostoevsky answers with the real question. Nietzsche calls it "just paint." If nothing is promised, do you still choose mercy? #fypシ #destoyevski #mercy #thebodyofthedeadchristpaint
