Talk:David with the Head of Goliath (Caravaggio, Rome)

The boy
The main article on Caravaggio states that the term "to lay with" was, during Caravaggio's time, an expression that simply meant "to live with". However, this entry makes it out to be a wholly sexual statement. Perhaps one of the entries should be edited so that there may be some consistency. Moreover the notion that this painting "inescapab[ly]" conveys a sexual relation between the artist and the model is an overstretch, particularly when one considers that the most recent scholarship on Caravaggio disputes the notion he was a homosexual. 74.138.43.60 (talk) 02:15, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
