🔥 New episode alert! 🔥 Leslie Primo and James Payne are discussing how Michelangelo changed the class of an artist. Link in bio 📣 Michelangelo arguably invented the idea of artistic genius. But before he was renowned enough to go by just one name (like Cher), he was desperately trying to raise the name of his family. Watch the full episode of Primo & Payne: Great Art Explained on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Podcasts to discover more about Michelangelo 'Il Divino' Buonarroti. 🎥 @fredcifuentesmorgan
