Today in class, we went over the powerpoint about reformation again. We talked about patrons and artists they sponsored. Like d'Este, she sponsored almost all of the greatest artists of all time. For example, she sponsored Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, and many more. She was also an artist herself. Her parents were wealthy and powerful and passed that down to her. We then talked about Michaelangelo's sculptures and paintings in the churches. He was a creative genius.
