A decade ago , images of a fight in the Ukranian parliament were dubbed "accidental Renaissance " The phrase became shorthand online, changing the way we understand images online.

Over a million people belong to Reddit 's r/AccidentalRenaissance, a community devoted to sharing images that they feel have a resemblance to the paintings of the 15th century .

The image of Team Great Britain's athletes in the 2024 Paris Olympics drew comparisons to Renaissance paintings.

In a Renaissance painting, these emotions would be assumed as driven by religious beliefs.

The image showed one athlete lying on his back and another on his hands and knees.

It's no accident that, again and again, we find ourselves attracted to these images of extreme emotion and beautiful bodies.
