You’ve heard the names. You’ve seen the paintings. Maybe you even thought they were just Ninja Turtles. But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

Told with wit, fire, and zero academic pretense. If you like your history brilliant, brutal, and just a little bit funny, this one’s for you.

Short and sweet overview of 4 contemporary artists of the Renaissance era. A nice introduction to the subjects and their major works. The narration was excellent.

Very interesting and educational
