niccolo machiavelli and biagio buonaccorsi, early in their friendship!

I made the mistake of reading an excerpt of one of biagio's letters to machiavelli at 2am and got so emotional about it that I had to draw my feelings out

do you have enough love in your heart
to go and get your hands dirty?
it isn't that much, but it's a good start
so go and get your hands dirty--

happy ides of march! lyrics from @grandson's dirty

it’s ascanio maria sforza and josquin des pres again! I just think they’re neat, and there’s no one stopping me from drawing increasingly niche art of renaissance figures

brutus, but I've combined a couple of portrayals of him I enjoyed together along with the Michelangelo bust ✨

cassius and antony fall in between some kind of ‘come in a little closer, we have some unfinished business’ and ‘you're the only motherfucker in the city who can handle me,’ dynamic imo. u know. romans, countrymen, narrative foils, we’re going to fight it out till one of us dies.

a little menelaus painting based on that one bust

agrippa and octavian

when the person you're going to follow for the rest of your life is prone to falling ill, you gotta make sure he stays warm, you know?

cassius and brutus, with the composition very loosely based on giulio romano’s painting, the lovers (it’s gone by various names) because to conspire is a seduction and conspiracy is to share a bed.

so.

as you can see----

CASSIUS:

Now, most noble Brutus,

The gods to-day stand friendly, that we may,

Lovers in peace, lead on our days to age!
