Episode 27: Il Divino, Michelangelo
The most rewarding part of Art History is the look on someone's face when you inform them that these Renaissance Masters are actually catty drama queens—it tends to be a mix of surprise, joy, and horror. Vasari had his favorites, and so do we. Let's kick off our Renaissance Masters series with our boy: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. Find out the true nature of our short and angry Renaissance man, discover the weird drama that permeated in Florence, contemplated why you should never trust the Medici, and realize just how Michelangelo hated his job.
