Fascinating article. I knew some of this, but not all of it by far. The only thing missing (for me) was the excerpt from his poems (or a link) because it's always nice to see for oneself what is being described no matter how powerfully and evocatively. Of course, one can always dig up examples on one's own but (aside from laziness!) it is nice to see the specific lines you refer to since your descriptions sound as if you have favorite examples.
Michelangelo Buonarotti's magnificent La Pietà in Saint Peter's Basilica, 1498–1499 the model was Lucrezia Borgia the most beautiful woman who was model of many Mary images in the Renaissance sanctioned by her daddy Rodrigo Borgia = Pope Alexander VI
Love these Queer History posts. This one was off the charts. We are up to 131, as a latecomer to the series, where do I find the first 125?

Well done. Thank you.
