The angle of 23,5º has been deliberately encrypted in many Works of art in history. Found for the first time being used in the great pyramids, this angle can be found many times in paintings, sculpture and buildings. Associated to the contemporary and ancient symbolic imaginary. Is has been used specially in works depicting themes as death, war, battles or conflict. We can only speculate to what is the real meaning of this angle and the artists intention. Related to the angle of the earths axis, which is also 23,5º, the first greek philosophers considered it as a irregular condition, and thanks to it the seasons of the year would alternate. In the cycle of life, where war and conflict are seen as fundamental elements of human nature. We can only understand this angle as a result or reflection of the earths axis. As a symbol of the unbalance and disharmony of human condition.
