A Manhattan man is suing the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the city of New York for what he considers "anti-Semitic, racist and offensive artworks" on display at the museum.
Justin Renel Joseph, who lives in Midtown, filed the suit in a New York federal court on Nov. 30.
He claims several paintings, including "The Holy Family with Angels" by Sebastiano Ricci are racist because they "depict the historical and public figure of Hebrew decent, Jesus Christ, as a blonde haired, fair-skinned, Aryan adult male" despite the chances that someone born in the Middle East would not be genetically disposed to have those features.
