Bitches don’t know, yo, bout my man Caravaggio
who inspired across the board and borders all them artists in the Netherlands
in Flanders and Belgium and the like with those chiaroscuro tenebroso-brism masterpieces of bro-ism.
Rubens was one o’ them skanks with the dank light
but not too tight cause he didn’t want the royals to get up in his grill like,
start a fight with the new style of the century
baroque barroco, rococo (no)
Rubens wasn’t free
cause he liked to be liked with the best of them
rest of them spineless artists who painted Christ like God, not like man (not like Caravaggio can)
Rubens was pimpin with the bros n’ hos of royalty
tried to hide his misery in the red
eyes of the Holy Mother Mary
pieta’s a bitch when you're dead
and still bleed
Spain's Fleming sluts
don't got nothin to say to the Dutch
boys up north, cause them Dutch is Protestants
and they don't take shit from no papal city
so Honthorst and the other Dutch artists is like
let's make this real gritty
and that's Caravaggio, my man
that's the plan
set it up like a play
make sure it burns
like a torch lighting up the crown of thorns
on the head of Christ who's just a poor old normal guy
who never learns.
We will return to your regularly scheduled programming when Snark is no longer writing an extensive Baroque art history paper (or alternatively, semi-rap about Baroque art history). In case you read all that, I apologize, and I think you probably should have ignored it like you were about to when you read the first line.
this story is not good,
shut me up
