Simply About Art. What Museums Keep Silent About

When you hear “Leonardo da Vinci,” do you imagine a frail old man gloomily looking at you from the most famous self-portrait in the history of painting? Shame on that! Thanks to Maria Santі, you’ll understand that he was a dandy, a fashion lover, and—generally—a very flamboyant person. You’ll also learn that Michelangelo despised people, and that the most famous Egyptian woman in history (spoiler: Cleopatra) wasn’t actually Egyptian. Open world art from a new angle: a guide by Maria Santі, generously seasoned with humor and surprises, will make you an expert in painting. Maria Santi is an art critic who can’t stand boredom and the same old facts that travel from one book to another. Her “Pro Art” page on Facebook already has more than 64,000 followers!
