I see this as typical leftwing debasing of God and Christianity
with auto mechanics replacing God and Jesus.
On the contrary.
These photos are beautiful metaphors, contrived by the artist to elevates these men, men typically thought of as lower class (due to the nature of their work) to their rightful place as dignified, beautiful human beings worthy of all human respect.
Bravo to the artist. Fantastic photos.
You can be a grouch all you want, but do consider that Michelangelo's painting is on a ceiling, and Leonardo's on a wall, not in the pages of the Bible. Those paintings are marvelous, to be sure, and these are but whimsical odes to them, not denigrating them--and surely not God or Christ(ianity)--but rather honoring them by their attention.
