Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While they often worked in religious contexts, their intent was not to emphasize religious piety or latent sexuality, but rather to challenge traditional beauty ideals and create visually complex and dynamic works. While they may have also wanted to show off their skills, this was not their primary motivation.
