That I do get. I mean there was a good one on another channel about Titan, and large chunks of it were about how his paintings made him popular in the Hapsburg royal court, meaning that they took him on as their official painter, meaning he had pretty much a job for life so he could try experimental techniques.

- *nids* cause it was so all about politics and shit back then as much if not more as now, I totally liked Titan, I bet that was great

Good point about the way families affect art :)

- thanks

I think that's part of the problem, I fear they are only using this to get Mark Rylance (the actor portraying Leonardo) naked. Something which I am in favour of normally, but I like it to be purposeful nekkidness. :)

- I can soo totally see that. *grin* And its also a catchy kind of thing right now that gay is a pop word that selss, which considering the state of the 'real' world kinda boggles me but nevertheless its a cheap way to advertise :D
