The different propagation directions defined by the crack paths in progressively drawn pearlitic steels also evoke the painting by Natalia Goncharova (Fig. 7), the other key member of the artistic movement called rayonism , launched on the basis of modern Physics in the XX and the discovering of X rays.

As reported by Toribio (2020a, 2020b), heavily cold-drawn pearlitic steels exhibit in their hydrogen-assisted crack path (HACP) evidence of strongly anisotropic behavior with a deflection angle of 90º. This resembles Mantegna’s Dead Christ Perspective (MDCP) painting with is relevant and innovative change of viewpoint in the description of the Dead Christ (90º rotated from the traditional perspectives) with his body axis perpendicular to the canvas ( foreshortening perspective ), see Fig. 8.
