The War Cripples (or perhaps just War Cripples, I can never remember) by Otto Dix, fuck the Nazis for destroying the original (and for a host of other reasons).

Yes, its much easier to grab your sword from the left with your right hand and vice versa.
See: other historical paintings and literally any piece of media with sword fighting.

Just read a 30 page article on the history of the sculpture. There's a good chance it's not from Ancient Rome at all and was made in the Renaissance. Whatever the origin, it's easily one of the greatest works of art of all time.

IIRC Foucault loved that painting and wrote a dissertation on it. He argued that it's an excellent psychological painting that leaves a lot of fascinatingly mysterious non-dits, breaks the 4th wall and brings us closer so that the mystery of the scene hits us even harder.

Please note that this is a pure guess with nothing to back it up, but what it sounds like to me is that all files uploaded to the 4chan database are hashed into an index with a hash function and what happens is that once in a blue moon the resulting hashes have a duplicate, so the wrong index is accessed and wrong file information retrieved.

Did you read it? The author seems to concede that Michealangelo couldn't have made it. Also:

In 1906 Ludwig Pollak, archaeologist, art dealer and director of the Museo Barracco, discovered a fragment of a marble arm in a builder‘s yard in Rome, close to the findspot of the group. Noting a stylistic similarity to the Laocoön group he presented it to the Vatican Museums: it remained in their storerooms for half a century. In 1957 the museum decided that this arm—bent, as Michelangelo had suggested—had originally belonged to this Laocoön, and replaced it. According to Paolo Liverani: "Remarkably, despite the lack of a critical section, the join between the torso and the arm was guaranteed by a drill hole on one piece which aligned perfectly with a corresponding hole on the other"

Not only that but its stylistically similar to other works done by Agesander

Not particularly historical and not really my favourite but nonetheless a beautiful work of art. It highlights the cruelty of the universe but sees the dignity in human struggle.

I've always thought that there's meant to be a contrast between the unsuccessful hunters and the distant ice-skating figures, reminding us that even in the bleakest winter there can be moments of joy.

Long story short, it's during Christ's temptations in the desert. At one point Satan tells him "bruv if you're really hungry just turn those rocks into bread" (keep in mind Jesus had been fasting for 40 days). His gaunt look and glance at the rocks implies the internal temptation with Jesus to do it. Really helps us see the human side of Jesus.

The full and accurate title of this painting is Fusilamiento de Torrijos y sus compañeros en las playas de Málaga (“Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beaches of Malaga”). It was painted in 1888 by Spanish romanticist Antonio Gisbert Pérez, known in the English-speaking world mostly as Antonio Gisbert.
