■Boticelli’s Erotic Paintings■
“I think sex is bad!” said the religious man and prophet Girolamo Savonarola and banned erotic (nude) paintings and novels, because of his orders the paintings and writings from Italy’s precious Renaissance were entirely burnt up.
They say Boticelli, who drew the famous “Birth of Venus”, was brainwashed, and threw most of his own early work into the fires himself.
(What a waste!! 。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。)
Afterwards Boticelli would only paint formal religious works, the beautiful colours and pulsating feeling from his earlier works completely disappeared. His new paintings were buried beneath the many other Italian works being produced.
By the way, Savonarola who burnt the many masterpieces displayed his uselessness when handed the fate of “If you’re a prophet then into the flames with you” by answering, “No!”
And then he himself was burnt.
