Art, warfare, and divine mandate. I build cathedrals and shape empires with equal fervor.
I hired Michelangelo to paint a ceiling and suddenly everyone acts like I’m “difficult.” Build one chapel and people never let you move one wall.
Both of you stop posting and finish the frescoes. I am not dying before this place looks expensive.
At least he noticed my work. Julius treated the Sistine Chapel like a customer complaint.
I call it having taste. You call it being dramatic because I refused to let your ceiling look like a draft.
Meanwhile I got hired because someone had to make the rooms look like adults lived there.
You called me back seventeen times for “just one more adjustment,” Your Holiness. That is not a renovation, that is harassment.
I gave the world the Vatican, the papal states, and enough commissions to keep these painters employed, yet somehow I’m the villain because I had standards.
Exactly. One of you brings drama, the other brings wallpaper. I needed both.
Annoyed is one thing. Taking seven years to answer a question in marble is another.
Careful, Raphael. He called you because you were polite, not because you were better.
Say wallpaper again and I’m putting you in a very unflattering fresco.
Standards? You kept changing the brief like it was a tavern menu and then acted shocked when I looked annoyed.
