The painting by Botticelli found drugs
 

British botanists from the Royal Gardens at Kew and help art historians to interpret the picture of Botticelli's Venus and Mars "(1483), reports The Times. At the request of David Bellingham (David Bellingham) from the Institute of the Arts Sotheby's, they have identified a plant, which holds one of the painted satyrs. It turned out to lure ordinary (Datura stramonium).
Datura - poisonous plant that can cause narcotic intoxication and hallucinations. In ancient times it was also used as an aphrodisiac. According to Bellingham, the symptoms of drug intoxication are visible in the figure of Mars. Since it is known that intoxication causes the person to feel the heat and take off their clothes. It also causes fainting.
According to art historian, the picture stored in the National Gallery in London, depicts Venus and Mars, but beneath them means more and Adam and Eve. Bellingham believes that dope symbolizes the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. He is often portrayed as the apple, but the Bible does not describe in detail the fruit.
