thinking back to when I used to post more regular heads up posts whenever I was switching gears with interests, and now its like. well, currently my interests are based on whenever this book I bought on brutus and renaissance reception on tyrannicide arrives, so until then it's increasingly questionable art of renaissance catholic cardinals and also that should not be a surprise for anyone because I keep saying that my interest in ancient rome is reverse engineered from the renaissance

#actually it might just be sforza art this time. i want to do some ludovico-beatrice-ascanio stuff i think #like a deeply cursed trio because i already compared ascanio to bianca visconti which makes ludovico francesco #and that's. well. it is what it is! but its also a historical fact that ludovico was going to have ascanio buried #in the same church as his wife. and thats Interesting given ludovico's reaction to his wife's death #and the overlapping between when beatrice died and ascanio fell ill #the implications here are less weird than im making them. like. ough. its about the isolation of power and safety and grief in death
