Author: Baroque Bs April 1, 2025 Duration: 55:50
Okay sea QUEENS let's get DOWN on some Botticelli! He's was THE moment during the Renaissance, but moments do have a way of fading. Come find out how our guy went from the top to the bottom, some DRAMA-RAMA involving your fav dysfunctional Florentine Family, and WHO THE F IS THAT HOT ASS B IN THOSE PAINTINGS?! Love you! Xoxo, The Baroque B's

Ever feel like the hallowed halls of art history could use a bit more gossip and a lot less pretension? That’s exactly the space Baroque B*tches-An Art History Gossip Podcast occupies. Hosted by the Baroque Bs, this series operates on a deliciously simple premise: the art is high brow, but the tea is decidedly low brow. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with friends who are just as passionate about the stunning works as they are about the scandalous, juicy drama that swirled around the artists who made them. This isn't a dry lecture; it's a lively, accessible conversation that reminds everyone that these iconic figures were complex, messy, and fascinating people. You’ll hear deep dives into the personal lives and professional rivalries of your favorite painters and sculptors, all served with a side of steeping hot tea. The tone is light, engaging, and intentionally welcoming, breaking down barriers to make art history feel immediate and wildly entertaining. New episodes arrive every Wednesday, offering a regular dose of learning and laughter. By focusing on the stories behind the masterpieces, this podcast connects the dots between the canvas and the very human impulses that created it. It’s a celebration of art’s enduring power, told through the lens of the gossip that, in many ways, shaped its course.
