Art Sis Collab! Lilly Martin Spencer's Spread-Eagle Chicken

Here he is! Ring the bells! Sound the trumpets! Brandi's favorite artist is here and it is Bernini. Our beautiful baroque boy is the cream of the crop, queen of rome, and master of marble.

The Sistine Chapel (1508) is the triumph/torture of world's most famous and crustiest artist. Michelangelo may have never painted before but there was one thing he was definitely a master of; being a lil' bitch. And by lil', I mean absolutely gigantic. Today we tackle this monster and dish all the goss on our final ninja turtle and the lord of the twunks.  Check our instagram for more details! https://www.instagram.com/artsistory/ And email us at [email protected]

*Attention! This episode has discussions of sexual assault and rape. Skip the below timecodes if needed** No one paints a head chopping like Artemisia Gentileschi. It's got all you could ever want: blood, horror, drama, and a badass woman empowered by sweet righteous fury. Artemisia is the queen of the Baroque and queen of my heart. Don't take my word for it. Just look at her art.  18:23 - 27:47 discussion of sexual assault, rape, and torture Check our instagram for more details! https://www.instagram.com/artsistory/ And email us at [email protected]

If there was any sculpture that could be called the gayest, it would be this. Donatello's David (1450s) is a bastion of homoerotic glory. From his booty to his tooty, he is the one twink to rule them all. Step aside haters, because this David embodies queer culture in Renaissance Florence and even Michelangelo's legendary twunk is quaking.  Check our instagram for more details! https://www.instagram.com/artsistory/ And email us at [email protected]

It's a wild love story filled with passion and hardships in Renaissance Florence! A painter, forced to be a friar, and his beautiful model, forced to be a nun, a romance that can never be but falling in love anyway. JK! Actually it's just one horny dude and a nun he may or may not have kidnapped. Fra Filippo Lippi is the first rascal of the Renaissance and while no Medici could pin him down, he'll always have a place in our hearts.     Check our instagram for more details! https://www.instagram.com/artsistory/ And email us at [email protected]

Have you ever seen an artist that is all BALLS and no SH*T? That's Tintoretto, the nastiest boy in the best way. His art is quick, cheap, and bitchy. It's everything you could ever want in an artist.

Come with us as we tell the tale of the nastiest boy who ever was and how this little dirt child started at the bottom and now he here.  Check our instagram for more details! https://www.instagram.com/artsistory/ And email us at [email protected]
