Discuss.
For example, does Mary appear too young?

Yes, there are conspiracy theories on this statue too.
1. Jesus' mother would be around age 48 to 53 depending upon how you calculate His age. Some people age well. This was not a life portrait.
2. Michelangelo felt the Blessed Mother would look (artistically) young, timeless, due to her state of grace, which is found in Scripture.
3. I doubt it that Michelangelo was a "member of the Priory of Zion", who "read in to" his work and thought that the woman in this sculpture was really St. Mary Magdalene. Yeah another secret code.

He gave her a very pretty face. It's young, but I don't know if it's too young. It's pleasing to look at. <high resolution photo> There are some women who look like they're 16 until about 40. See the IMDb photo of Jennie Garth. It's difficult to tell she's 45 unless you look at the base of the neck. There must be some other actresses who looked young way longer than most women. Can you think of any? |

When I was a wee lad, I had a small copy that was a plug-in nightlight...

If you listen to some of the claims of their members, when interviewed on TV, they can trace their membership back to the Templars. Wishful thinking.

I suppose it could be a case of confusing the name the priory of sion with a different (legitimate) organisation, but the name 'priory of sion' and what we commonly hold to be true about the order are an admitted fake from the 60's |

It is not my confusion, but wishful thinking on their part. Just who are they? A club of old Frenchmen drinking cheap Bordeaux in each other's cellars, waxing nostalgic about the old days and world domination. One claimed he actually knew DeGaulle.

I did not mean your confusion, I meant general confusion, like thinking that Atlantis was ever a place that was supposed to exist. |
