    What specifically connects the Passion facade of the Catholic basilica 'Sagrada Familia' in Barcelona, and an integral composition of a well known painting about depression by an artist known for his 'Adam and Eve'?

    Question #66108. Asked by peasypod.

    This is an easy one. A version of the "magic square" on the Passion facade of Antonio Gaudi's "Sagrada Familia," designed by sculptor Josep Subirach, can also be found in Albrecht Durer's "Melancholia I" -- perhaps Durer's most famous work.

    Scroll down a bit on this site:

    Of course it is easy, Frankie, and your previous link from a couple weeks ago must have retained in my memory for some reason. Now, the other one about the plant with the bloodshed is a little more tricky...
