Craziness

The Italian Art and Psychology Association has conducted a year-long study to understand the emotional and physiological impact viewing Michelangelo's David has on some viewers. Apparently some people are so overcome by the great work of art that they feel dizzy or faint, or might even be vulnerable to panic attacks or "temporary bouts of madness."

The agony and the ecstasy, indeed.
