Well folks, put on those shoulder length gloves that Laura Dern wears in Jurassic Park, cause it's Probin' Time! This one here, is the deepest… the darkest… the craziest amount of research I have done for any episode yet. The lengths, depths, and girths that I went to to find out what the hell Ecco the Dolphin is really about… Holy mackerel.If you never played the 1992 smash hit game exclusively for the Sega systems, you missed out. And if you did play the game, you probably remember it's immensely difficult and confusing puzzles. But if you happened to be one of the few that beat the game?! You were an elite gamer with the most patient of demeanors. Think Free Willy meets The Terminator meets Alien… Take all of that and wrap it in one of Jimi Hendrix's acid soaked bandanas, and you are right where you need to be… Plus! A very special happy birthday to Rob! Love ya buddy. Plus! We welcome back our spleen!

Episode OverviewThis week, I consider the Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and Epictetus' Enchiridion, part of Ted Gioia's Humanities List (link below!). Moving from Greek dramas to 2nd-century Roman Stoics, we first talk about the move from Greek lit to Roman, how the mindset and history will impact what we read. I cover Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus in depth, mention Admiral Stockdale (a modern Stoic) and end the episode with Rudyard Kipling's poem "If." Marcus Aurelius' MeditationsMeditations, the private journal of a Roman emperor, emphasizes self-focus, humility, and inner peace. Key takeaways include: Focus on your own mind and skills, not others' actions or opinions. Embrace nature to cultivate curiosity and appreciation for the world. Accept life's brevity and smallness, acting virtuously without expecting rewards. Find peace within, not in external escapes like vacation homes. Hold pleasures loosely to achieve contentment in the present moment.I note the surprising modernity of Aurelius' advice but question its contradictions, like the futility of life versus the call to virtue.Epictetus' EnchiridionEpictetus, a former slave turned philosopher, offers a direct, practical guide in The Enchiridion. I prefer Epictetus' straightforward style, finding it more relatable than Aurelius' introspections. Highlights include: Distinguish what harms the body from what affects the will—Epictetus' own lameness adds poignancy to this teaching. Know your limits and operate fully within them, committing wholeheartedly to your purpose. Avoid excess in speech, laughter, or indulgence, embracing simplicity.Consider the parallels to Biblical teachings like Colossians 3:17.Reflections and ChallengesI don't love Stoicism, as I think it sacrifices deep love and beauty. But there's no doubt that its ideals have a place in society--Stockdale and Kipling both reflect that. Translation struggles (George Long's arcane 1877 version versus Gregory Hays' readable Meditations) and time management issues due to travel delayed this week's reading. Classical music (Haydn's Symphonies 45, 94, and 104) enriched the experience, though I skipped the art.What's NextNext week, I explore Suetonius' Twelve Caesars with Mozart's symphonies and Italian art by Botticelli and Caravaggio.

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo de' Medici Part 3: Large-Scale Mythological Painting The 1480's in Florence was an age of relative prosperity under Lorenzo the Magnificent. During this period, the visual arts began to take a new shape. Influenced by both classical and contemporary literature and poetry, Lorenzo's court saw the introduction to large-scale mythological painting, ushered in by the famed Sandro Botticelli. This episode looks closely at the formation of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, as well as the subsequent Court of Pan by Luca Signorelli in 1490. We discuss the cultural and political circumstances around the development of this new genre of painting, as well as a host of patrons, including the Vespucci family and Lorenzo il Popolano de' Medici. A close look at these works alongside scholarly research reveals a tension between representation and actual cultural attitudes, especially around differentiating between philosophical representation and lived, sensual realities. Works Discussed: Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, ca. 1485 https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/birth-of-venusSandro Botticelli, Venus and Mars, ca. 1485 https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/sandro-botticelli-venus-and-marsLuca Signorelli, The Court of Pan, ca. 1490 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Education_of_PanFollow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastYoutube Videos mentioned for extra information: Piero di Cosimo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R99_lpzeLzQ&list=PLUejELZ-zvuCN0XSgU-4JoV4ezeU6MBLb&index=4Luca Signorelli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE3MC80SvHU&list=PLUejELZ-zvuCN0XSgU-4JoV4ezeU6MBLbGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Močna kakor smrt je ljubezen, odmeva v svetopisemski Visoki pesmi. Besedilo, ki si ga pogosto izberejo mladoporočenci pri cerkveni poroki kot potrditev tega, za kar se odločajo. Ljubezen mi je vse razodela je naslov poezije Karla Wojtyle, ki si je kot papež nadel ime Janez Pavel II. in se mu danes priporočamo kot svetniku. Ljubezen je čustvo, ki ga v sebi nosijo poročeni in celibaterji, razvezani in osamljeni, vsi, nekateri pravijo, da tudi živali – že iz predkrščanske dobe je znan praznik gregorjevo, dan, ko se ptički ženijo. Lady Gaga, ena največjih pop zvezdnic 21. stoletja, je izjavila, da je bil njen največji strah v življenju, da bi ostala sama. Po koncertih in predstavah, kjer so se je ljudje dotikali, se z njo rokovali, pogovarjali, se je domov vračala in ostajala sama. Najsrečnejša je postala, ko je našla ljubezen svojega življenja. Obstajajo različne vrste ljubezni in morda najbolj nedolžna, najbolj zastonjska in tudi najdlje trajajoča je materinska ljubezen, po kateri hrepenijo otroci. Pomislimo samo na dečka Serjožo iz Tolstojeve Ane Karenine. Očetu in njegovi prijateljici, ki sta mu sporočila, da je mati umrla, ni verjel. Na sprehodih po parkih Petrograda se je zaziral v ženske obraze in v njih iskal enega samega – obraz svoje matere, ki se mu je na deveti rojstni dan kot sonce zasvetil, ko se je prebudil iz sna. Resnično je stala pred njim – njegova mati, ki mu je bila vse. Krščanskih cerkva, največjih svetovnih galerij ali pa številnih zasebnih stanovanj si skorajda ni za zamisliti brez ikonične slike Marije z Detetom. Botticelli, Caravaggio, Raphael pa tudi Leopold Layer z Brezij na Gorenjskem – vsem je skupna milostna podoba Marije z otrokom, ki se prižema k njenemu obrazu, prsim ali pa nogam. Michelangelo pa s svojo Pietà iz kararskega marmorja v baziliki Sv. Petra v Vatikanu pokaže še na eno, morda najtežjo podobo iz življenja: ko mati v naročju drži mrtvega sina. Prizor, ki je v postnem času živo navzoč ob premišljevanju križevega pota. Mati je poslanstvo, ki ne pozna upokojitve. To je beseda, ki je v vseh slovarjih napisana z zlatimi črkami. Hvaležni jim moramo biti, materam, ki so nas rodile v svet, ki so v prečutih nočeh in še velikokrat pozneje dajale prednost življenju otroka in sebe zatajevale. Vsem njim naj velja čestitka za materinski dan.

In questo episodio andremo a trattare di uno degli artisti simbolo del Rinascimento italiano, noto per la sua grazia e per il suo ritorno ai temi del mito: Sandro Botticelli

Siempre hemos oído, incluso nosotros mismos hemos dicho alguna vez, que en el Renacimiento eran todos m4ric4s, especialmente los hombres artistas. Pero, ¿fue así realmente?, ¿eran tan habituales como creemos las relaciones entre hombres en el Renacimiento?, ¿estaban bien vistas?En este episodio en directo desde el Teatro del Barrio buscamos respuestas a estas preguntas mirando hacia la ciudad artísticamente más importante del siglo XV: FLORENCIA. Allí, mientras las primeras generaciones de artistas renacentistas creaban grandes obras de arte, se desarrolló un sistema de señalamiento y enjuiciamiento contra la sodomía (con los Ufficiali di Notte a la cabeza) que, lejos de acabar con ella, otorgó a la ciudad la fama de capital mundial del s3x0 entre hombres.Hablamos de Botticelli, de Leonardo da Vinci y su Salai, de Miguel Ángel Buonarroti y sus Gherardo Perini y Tommaso de Cavalieri, y del artista más orgullosamente g4y (sí, sí, ya) del momento: Il Sodoma.

La historia de los Medici, desde Cosme el Viejo hasta Ana María Luisa, es un viaje de poder, mecenazgo y legado cultural. Esta dinastía florentina impulsó el Renacimiento financiando a genios como Botticelli, Miguel Ángel y Leonardo. Su visión transformó la historia del arte y dejó un legado eterno en Florencia.

Nadia Roccia, una studentessa diciottenne, fu uccisa il 14 marzo 1998 dalle sue amiche Anna Maria Botticelli e Maria Filomena Sica a Castelluccio dei Sauri in provincia di Foggia. Le tre ragazze si conoscevano fin dall'infanzia, ma nel tempo Botticelli e Sica svilupparono sentimenti ostili nei confronti di Nadia, soprattutto dopo che lei ritrattò una promessa di aiutarle a trasferirsi negli Stati Uniti. Le due amiche la strangolarono e tentarono di simulare un suicidio legando una corda al collo della vittima e lasciando una falsa lettera di suicidio. Gli inquirenti ottennero le confessioni durante gli interrogatori e le due assassine furono condannate. Il movente del delitto fu ricondotto a motivi economici e sentimentali.Episodi senza pubblicitàhttps://bit.ly/3C1LnZ7Seguici su Instagram https://bit.ly/3C4megwIscriviti al canale WhatsApphttps://bit.ly/4h8B6JtL'autrice di questo episodio è Moira MissoriQuesta è un'opera di fantasia ispirata da una storia vera.

The magi have fascinated Christians for thousands of years. They are depicted in 3rd century frescos in the catacombs of Rome and were carved into the façades of Chartres Cathedral in the 13th century. They were the subject of great artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Dürer. And most church nativity scenes, as well as at-home devotional nativities, would look incomplete without them. But's it's only twelve verses and two mentions in one gospel that have sparked our fixation... The post Epiphany Sunday appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

Sara Wheeler explains why every week for several decades - despite knowing nothing about art - she has called in to London's National Gallery to look at the same two paintings. 'This habit of mine,' writes Sara, 'started by accident when I moved to London forty years ago' when she first set eyes on Botticelli's 'Portrait of a Young Man' and van Eyck's 'Portrait of a Man.' 'I have come to realise,' says Sara, the extraordinary power of 'familiarity, close contact and regular attention'.

"My motive was simple and hedonistic: I was looking for beauty" - Alain de Botton, The Art of TravelWelcome to Episode #103I have mused over limoncello, Liguria, Milano and Roma, the streets of Genova and once wrote a love letter to Padova. I have revered Giotto and Botticelli and cried over Santa Chiara in Assisi. I have interviewed many beautiful women about their lives in Italy, their stories, their cookbooks and their passions for a bountiful table and the beauty of the artist's life. I have researched Sardegna and even had a good laugh with the one and only Luca Spaghetti. I went deep down the rabbit hole on the iconic Peggy Guggenheim and I dreamt about returning to Italy to do it all over again. I inspired women to go solo traveling in Italy and I insisted my husband take me again for my 50th birthday. And finally I published my travel memoir - In the Shadow of a Cypress - An Italian Adventure. And so over 103 episodes I have mused and I have definitely felt the call, that magnetic lure of Italy, it has been a beautiful life expanding journey and a wonderful daring chapter of my life - Enjoy my next share In Bocca al lupo - a few of the many stories that happened along the way ❤️The Italian affair continues through travel, books, art and lifestyle. In truth, there are many portals to enjoy Italy and many ways to connect the dots of living a beautiful life. They all make for a sumptuous connection to Italy and one that has given so much beauty and magic.  Thank you for joining me and making this journey what it is for without the beautiful listeners and you whom I have connected with along the way in conversation and in spirit, it has made it just so much fun!!Michelle xo"In bocca al lupo (pronounced [im ˈbokka al ˈlupo]; lit. "into the wolf's mouth") is an Italian Idiom originally used in opera and theatre to wish a performer good luck prior to a performance.The standard response is crepi il lupo!  - "may the wolf die" or, more commonly, simply crepi! ("may it die").Equivalent to the English actor's idiom "break a leg", the expression reflects a theatrical superstition in which wishing a person "good luck" is considered bad luck. The expression is commonly used in Italy off stage, as superstitions and customs travel through other professions and then into common use, and it can sometimes be heard outside of Italy".  (Wikipedia 2024)Find all Shownotes at  michellejohnston.lifeBuy my new book:  In the Shadow of a Cypress - An Italian Adventure Book Link for my MichelleJohnston.life© 2024  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2024Support the show

00:00 ¿Quién es el Profesor Briceño? 03:45 ¿Qué hace el Profesor Briceño? 05:15 Los alumnos más difíciles del Profesor Briceño. 07:53 “Los concursos de belleza son como la iglesia” 11:43 ¿Cuántos kilos te aumenta la cámara? 12:50 La vanidad venezolana. 15:34 ¿Quién inventó “Calladita te ves más bonita”? 16:46 ¿Qué significa “Relájate y coopera”? 18:45 El sacrificio no tiene que ser doloroso. 20:49 La generación de la lucha. 22:45 ¿De quién quieres ser esclavo? 24:52 Dos cosas que no se permiten los hombres. 26:01 Polarización emocional argentinos vs. venezolanos. 27:27 Hay cosas que no son publicables. 32:25 La paternidad del Profesor Briceño. 34:17 Desafíos que enfrenta el Profesor Briceño. ¿"Calladita te ves más bonita"? ¡Por favor! La conversación giró rápidamente hacia los estereotipos de belleza y esas frases que todos odiamos (pero igual repetimos). “Calladita te ves más bonita” fue destrozada con un humor tan ácido que seguro dejó esa frase temblando en un rincón. Clara comentó cómo en Venezuela hasta para parir una de sus amigas preguntaba quién la iba a peinar. ¡¿Perdón?! Mientras ella pensaba en cómo sacar a un bebé de su cuerpo, sus amigas estaban preocupadas por si sus rizos iban a salir perfectos para las fotos. Briceño, siempre listo para el remate, lanzó: "Para eso están los bomberos, no para apagar incendios, sino para lidiar con esas expectativas absurdas". En medio de las risas, Briceño trajo una reflexión seria (y cómica): en Grecia antigua, la belleza, la bondad y la verdad eran lo mismo. "Pero claro", agregó, "eso era antes de los filtros de Instagram y los Miss Universo". Ale, mientras tanto, se lamentó de no haber nacido en el Renacimiento, donde las mujeres con "cuerpo de Botticelli" eran la cúspide de la belleza. “Si yo nacía en esa época, ¡no había quien me parara! Pero aquí estoy, en 2024, luchando contra estándares imposibles y con ganas de comerme un cachito”. ¿Y los hombres? También tienen lo suyo La mesa se puso un poco más seria (pero no mucho) al hablar de los estereotipos que enfrentan los hombres. Briceño, con su humor resignado, confesó que “los hombres no lloramos… al menos no en público. Lloramos en la ducha, con el agua cayendo en la cara, para que nadie lo note”. Clara y Ale explotaron de la risa, pero también destacaron que esas presiones sociales son tan absurdas como las que enfrentan las mujeres. ¿Proveer, ser fuertes, no mostrar emociones? “Miren”, dijo Clara, “si quieren llorar, llórenme una parranda, pero háganlo con estilo, ¿ok?” El episodio terminó con un toque de humildad (y un poquito de egocentrismo, porque ¡es Briceño!). Clara y Ale lo elogiaron por su trabajo en la comedia venezolana, pero él remató: "Mientras me sigan contratando a mí y no a estos novatos, todo bien". Entre aplausos y risas, el trío cerró el episodio dejando claro que la comedia es la mejor herramienta para desarmar estereotipos, criticar lo absurdo y, sobre todo, hacernos reír hasta el cansancio. Este episodio fue un recordatorio de que sí, tal vez la vida sea un tango para unos y una salsa para otros, pero si se vive con humor, todo se lleva mejor. ¡Y si no, por lo menos ríete mientras te planchas el pelo para ir al supermercado!

In this riveting episode, we dive into the mysterious and unsettling phenomenon known as Stendhal Syndrome, where the overwhelming beauty of art triggers intense emotional reactions—sometimes leading to hallucinations, panic, or even unconsciousness. But what if this isn't just a rare psychological condition? What if Stendhal Syndrome is deliberately induced, a hidden weapon used by secret organizations to manipulate and control the minds of those who experience it? Join us as we explore the dark side of art, where beauty hides a sinister agenda. Introduction to Stendhal Syndrome: Overview of the condition and its psychological effects. Historical cases and how the syndrome was first identified. The Renaissance Conspiracy: The theory that Renaissance artists were commissioned by secret societies to embed mind-altering codes in their masterpieces. Analysis of famous works, such as Botticelli's "Primavera" and Da Vinci's "The Last Supper," believed to contain these hidden triggers. Art as a Weapon: Exploration of how art could be used to influence emotions, perceptions, and even beliefs. Examples of how Stendhal Syndrome might be exploited for psychological manipulation and mind control. Florence: The Epicenter of the Conspiracy? Why Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, might be the heart of this secret agenda. Speculation on whether modern museums and galleries are continuing this practice. The Role of Shadowy Organizations: Discussion of the possible involvement of secret societies, government agencies, or powerful elites in the exploitation of Stendhal Syndrome. The potential motivations behind this control—social engineering, influence over cultural movements, or something even more sinister. The Art of Resistance: How to protect oneself from the hidden power of art—can awareness break the spell? The importance of questioning what lies beneath the surface of cultural masterpieces. Conclusion: Summarizing the implications of the theory—if true, what does this mean for the future of art and human consciousness? Encouragement for listeners to explore art with both an open mind and a cautious heart. Tune in as we pull back the curtain on one of the most mysterious intersections of art and psychology, revealing a conspiracy that could change how you see the world's most celebrated masterpieces.

Listen to ArtMuse's episode on Simonetta Vespucci, a Genoese noblewoman living in Florence during the 15th century. Deemed the most beautiful woman in all of Florence, Simonetta captured the heart of Florence's greatest leaders, artists, poets, and intellectuals of her time. It is believed that Simonetta was the model for Botticelli's two greatest works; The Birth of Venus and Primavera.But Simonetta Vespucci's real life has been clouded by longheld folklore and fantasy. In this episode, we peel back the many layers of myth and give Simonetta, as a woman in her own right, the recognition she deserves.ArtMuse is produced by Kula Production Company.Please FOLLOW and RATE ArtMuse on Spotify and SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts.Instagram/TikTok/Youtube/BuyMeACoffee I have included images, resources and suggestions for further reading on the ArtMuse website and Instagram.

This week on the podcast, we're misremembering Botticelli — because we're watching the Ressha Sentai ToQger episode "Station 22: The Birth of the Empress"! What is happening? Did they really just do that? And what's all this about a festival, anyway? The answers to these questions and more await-- on this episode of Ranger Danger ToQger!

The Greek goddess of love, sex, desire and beauty, Aphrodite is mostly depicted naked and/or wet. And depending on your age and taste, that could be by Botticelli, Bananarama or Lady Gaga. Born from the sea foam, you can still visit her rock in Cyprus, where there's always a crowd of tourists. No one is immune to her charms, says Hesiod. In fact we can all learn from Aphrodite's stress-busting strategy: when something annoying or stressful happens, she goes to Cyprus - for a bath.Rock star mythologist' and reformed stand-up Natalie Haynes is obsessed with the ancient world. Here she explores key stories from ancient Rome and Greece that still have resonance today. They might be biographical, topographical, mythological or epic, but they are always hilarious, magical and tragic, mystifying and revelatory. And they tell us more about ourselves now than seems possible of stories from a couple of thousand years ago.Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery

As part of our Summer ‘revival' replaying some key episodes from A Dog's Life's archives, we're joined by the Broadcasting legend that is Jenni Murray talking about her love of dogs. From her first  Corgi cross called Taffy, to her two Miniature Schnauzers called William and Mary.  After Jenni battled cancer, she persuaded her husband to accept her first Chihuahua named Butch, latterly joined by two more  little Chihuahuas Frieda and Madge. At the time of recording in Jenni's garden Butch was almost 16 and Jenni shares the journey with Butch as her rock through a particularly difficult time.  We discuss the impact of dogs and the irony they're defined as Man's Best Friend when in fact history concurs that women played the main role through the domestication process. We chat about the inevitable  and the harsh reality that dogs simply don't live long enough, underlining the fact that dogs define chapters in our lives. We chat about the responsibility a dog is and the commitment that dogs are that so many people have sadly underestimated through the pandemic boom in ownership, to whats considered a crisis with rescue centres overflowing with unwanted pooches.  We talk about vet bills and postulate that vets could be biting the hands that feeds them, which is interesting considering the current CMA investigation! We postulate about the origin of the Chihuahua down to the fact that both Caravaggio and Botticelli painted dogs that look very like a Chihuahua long before Columbus discovered America. We chat about the extreme discussion about dogs and cats being demonised as contributing to climate change by extreme environmentalists. We celebrate dogs and their huge impact on our lives. Sadly since this recording little Butch has passed, but his legacy will live on!

Compilado de espisodios sobre el amor: Leonor de Aquitania, Sartre y Simone de Bouvieaur, Afrodita, Eros, Abelardo y Eloíasa, Simonetta y Botticelli, el amor e través del tiempo, el amor y la filosofía 

Selon la légende, l'île de Porquerolles en Méditerranée, dans le sud de la France, s'est créée alors qu'une princesse fuyant un prédateur mâle s'est transformée en île. Quel meilleur endroit donc pour une exposition dédiée aux femmes ?  Infinite Woman, qui peut se traduire par femme infinie ou indéfinissable, est le titre de la nouvelle exposition de la Fondation Carmignac nichée dans le parc national de l'île. Une exposition qui entend basculer les clichés et carcans dans lesquels sont enfermées les femmes à travers plus de quatre-vingts œuvres.Dès le début de l'exposition, le ton est donné. Deux œuvres se font face : La Vierge à la Grenade de Botticelli, figure de la femme asexuée portant son enfant, et une œuvre de Mary Beth Edelson qui reprend toutes les icônes féminines. Des figures païennes à des représentations contemporaines comme Michelle Obama ou Madonna. D'un côté une peinture conforme aux codes traditionnels patriarcaux, de l'autre une œuvre aux multiples féminités. « On va voulu sortir des oppositions binaires et entrer dans une forme de complexité, explique Charles Carmignac, directeur de la fondation. L'exposition est vraiment sur cette complexité infinie, Infinite Woman. Sur le caractère profondément indéfinissable des femmes. »Ainsi, au fil d'un parcours thématique, une soixantaine d'artistes nous font traverser des figures féminines au-delà du binôme vierge ou tentatrice, la femme est force créatrice, être sexuel en quête de plaisir. Ghada Amer, l'artiste égyptienne, cache des images érotiques de femme au cœur d'une forêt dans son œuvre de broderie.Broderie, céramique, art du tapis, autant de formes artistiques cantonnées à l'artisanat féminin et qui rivalisent ici avec la grande peinture. Celle-ci est toutefois très présente aussi. « L'œuvre marquante, pour moi, est celle de Michael Armitage, un artiste kényan, confesse Charles Carmignac. C'est une peinture extraordinaire dans laquelle on voit un événement qui s'est passé en 2014 à Nairobi, au Kenya. Une femme qui était vêtue de manière incorrecte selon certains hommes là-bas, et qui l'ont déshabillée, molestée sur la place publique. Une peinture extraordinaire. »Une œuvre où l'on voit une femme nue de dos entourée par des jambes d'hommes. Une peinture puissante à l'instar de toute l'exposition.

Some famous art pieces hide some seriously mind-blowing secrets. Like, in da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," there's a whole mystery around her smile - some say it changes depending on where you stand! And check this out - in Van Gogh's "Starry Night," those swirling clouds might actually be inspired by turbulent weather patterns he witnessed. Plus, there's this theory that Michelangelo's "David" sculpture might have hidden political messages carved into it. Oh, and don't even get me started on the hidden symbols in Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" - it's like decoding a whole ancient puzzle!

Ever wondered if Venus, the goddess of love, could catch waves on her iconic shell? We've got that covered, and much more, in a whimsical journey through art and the lighter side of life's curiosities. Our banter takes us from the strokes of Botticelli's brush to the pressing question of why our toothpaste tastes so darn sweet.

It's a fizzy topic, with artificial sweeteners under the microscope and their baffling link to obesity. But it's not just about what we sip; it's about the minty freshness we swish every day. We'll discuss an intriguing toothpaste experiment that might just be the secret weapon against sugar cravings.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the great women artists podcast is the renowned curator, scholar, and expert in 15th- and 16th-century Italian drawings, Furio Rinaldi to discuss TAMARA DE LEMPICKA! Dubbed “the Baroness with the Brush'', Lempicka at the height of the 1920s found herself at the centre of Parisian life, and constructed some of the most radical, liberal and avant-garde images. From reworking traditional subjects to melding the meticulous techniques of Renaissance painting with cold and shiny art-deco aesthetics to evoke the fast-industrialising world. Born in Poland at the end of the 19th century, Lempicka was raised in Russia, but escaped at the outbreak of the revolution. From there, she settled in Paris: the centre of the avant-garde, and thrived. She painted celebrated characters in the highest fashions of the day, and embraced sexual liberations. Epitomising the modern woman, she was apparently known to break only for “baths and champagne”, this was, of course in her modernist apartment-slash-studio, designed by her equally successful sister, Adrienne Górska. Currently holding the post of Curator of drawings and prints at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the largest collection of works on paper in Western United States – where he has just staged the most extraordinary Botticelli exhibition – Furio is acclaimed for his work on Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo. A writer – he has published extensively in The Burlington Magazine, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Journal and more, but perhaps he is best known for his curatorial eye, having organised the fantastic Legion of Honor exhibition Color into Line: Pastel from the Renaissance to the Present, and next year, will curate a groundbreaking exhibition – and the first major show on the West Coast – on the Polish-born painter Tamara de Lempicka – who is very excitingly the artists we will be discussing today. -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.instagram.com/famm.mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 ENJOY!!!

After getting it figured out what time of the year it is (year's end - Gregorian calendar, year's beginning - lectionary calendar), we agree it is Christmastide. Odd word, “Christmastide”, but as of this recording, it is the 4th Day of Christmas, so the Christmas tide is still rising. As always we begin with random talk about bagels and smoothly segue into hefty theological discussions and conversations about lists. This is the season of lists. The best of the year, the worst of the year, and more. We look at some of those often overlooked lists.
