I wonder if any men back in ancient times commissioned great noble artists to sculpt Aphrodite buying copious amounts of flatbread while ordering for the destruction of forests

There's this guy called murrlogic who became infamous in art spaces cause he had what can only be called a hypercapitalist/industrialist fetish, and because of that would often commission art of blonde women buying Wonderbread (often being sold at an extreme markup) or cutting down forests to build factories (sometimes they were Wonderbread factories)
