Despite Julius II's political and bellicose achievements, his chief title to honor is to be found in his patronage of art and literature. He did much to improve and beautify the city. In 1506 he laid the foundation stone of the new St. Peter's Basilica. However, he also demolished the old St. Peter's Basilica, which had stood for more than 1,100 years. He was a friend and patron of Bramante and Raphael, and a patron of Michelangelo. Several of Michelangelo's greatest works (including the painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel) were commissioned by Julius.
"And we know this painting is from 2019 because Sasha had gained 50 pounds post-breakup." Sheesh, lol. I wouldn't want people dating my photos based on my failings, but great detective work. It's no surprise he had so much power - he did many great things. And that hand of his looks soft / warm. 😌
I suppose that's the risks of being very lovable or at least very known person, right? The dilema of "we respect your privacy but can't help the curiosity to understand you better even if it kills the cat" 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅, oh good Lord, I simply hope most of us not becoming paparazzi when digging old people's memories 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
So smart for pointing out things like lightness of crinkles or that red and green are complementary colors. I hadn’t even thought of that.
So many versions/copies of this painting, the Titian copy painted 30 years later is virtually never discussed
So true
