Is this moment from the Abracadabra video a deliberate reference?

[NotNightwing 1,579]

So this particular pose is a an obvious standout visual from the video.  (and yet another slay by Paris I fear)

Spoiler

 

But it couldn't help but remind me of THIS famous renaissance painting by Michelangelo. (a 16th century ninja turtle)

 

Spoiler

This painting is called "The creation of Adam", and depicts God (bearded daddy on the right) creating Adam. 

The section where God is interestingly resembles a human brain, which is commonly thought to be intentional. You can read about it here if you're interested, it's fascinating! 

We know Gaga has referenced renaissance art before in her career, specifically The Birth of Venus,  so I don't think it would be too far fetched. Not to mention there is a song on mayhem called The Garden of Eden. 

I also think that the positioning of Gaga's cape in the pose is eerily similar to the frontal lobe of a human brain.

Spoiler

What do you guys think? Is there any similarity? And if so what do you think Gaga is trying to say with the reference?

  lmao to be fair though, who could rewrite the aggro of her furied heart? A difficult task for sure.

its def not that but she they clearly created a photo/painting and it's absolutely perfect and beautiful

Looks more like Guarnica, but there are many paintings with this kind of tringular shape. with lots of pathos. 

The style is giving something between Tintoretto to Caravaggio more than Michelangelo, more dramatic and the light and dark is kinda the whole thing of that movement.

I defo can see it but a LM already made a thread about this image, apparently it's a geometrical form that is considered as divine

I don't think it's that one specifically but definitely thought it was a renaissance painting vibe
