BIG NOSE DUDES IN HISTORY: Video Proof That Your Male Ancestors Probably Had a Giant Konk

in #art7 years ago (edited)

I created this video that compiles male portraits by Old Masters after I noticed the prevalence of huge proboscis in many of the men portrayed. 

Coincidence? Different standards of male beauty? ... Different diet?

You decide.

Enjoy! :)
