Last week a photo surfaced online of what looked like rapper Post Malone grabbing Justin Bieber by the neck.
The story was that Biebs had also been caught on camera stubbing out a cigarette on Malone’s arm earlier that night.
People naturally assumed that the rapper, who is a support act on Bieber’s Purpose tour, had decided he wasn’t keen on being a human ashtray for the world’s biggest popstar, and was readying a spectacular choke-slam in retaliation.

Any reports of a feud were later quashed by both artists, but the magnificence of the photo in question is what people really got excited about.
The more you look at the way the people in the frame are reacting to the situation, the gentle lighting and the overall composition, the more the picture starts to resemble Renaissance Art.

And then came the inevitable: Bieber’s Last Supper…

Does this mean Leonardo da Vinci is officially inducted into the Beliebers?
