Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Moses Kneeling in Front of the Burning Bush," Raphael Santi, 1514.</p><p>Raphael Santi, known now as simply Raphael (1483-1520) is regarded, along with Da Vinci and Michelangelo, part of the Holy Trinity of Renaissance art.</p><p>The son of a noted painter, he took over his father's workshop as a young lad and became a very productive painter. Despite being only 37 when he died, he left behind a huge body of work.</p><p>He had a rivalry with Michelangelo, and both worked in the Vatican. Michelangelo was popular for centuries but in the 18th and 19th centuries Raphael's more serene and harmonious compositions came into vogue and were a big influence on Neoclassicism. But they ended up being thrown out by the Pre-Raphaelites.</p><p>From the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Raphael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Raphael</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RenaissanceArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenaissanceArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Moses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moses</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BurningBush" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BurningBush</span></a></p>

Flipboard Art & Photo Desk<p>What did people in the Italian Renaissance era think about nudity, modesty and shame? Art — or the lack of it — can reveal a lot.

"The male body is this absolute focus of creativity," historian Maya Corry told <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@BBCNews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BBCNews</span></a></span>. "This is a Christian society and it's the male body, not the female body, that's made in God's image." Ahead of a new exhibition at Buckingham Palace, Deborah Nicholls writes about the hidden meanings in a 16th-century female nude.</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/9oORmV" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/9oORmV</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ItalianRenaissance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ItalianRenaissance</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RenaissanceArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenaissanceArt</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Raphael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Raphael</span></a></p>
