Look closely to see if you can discern the faint outlines of two faces, an arm (larger version here). This is a piece from Museum Anatomy, a project by Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector in which the artists recreate famous paintings on the human body. This one is Lucas Cranach the Elder’s Judith with the Head of Holofernes (1530), which I selected for obvious reasons, and here is a time-lapse video of the actual painting of this piece. Loads more at the artists’ website.

“While curators at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam stand by the theory of self-mutilation, Kaufmann argues that Van Gogh dropped hints in letters to his brother, Theo, once commenting: ‘Luckily Gauguin…is not yet armed with machine guns and other dangerous war weapons.’”
