Michelangelo, schmichelangelo

I love gay men as much as the next girl (a lot), but I think Michelangelo was one of those rare guys who didn't care for females in any form. Have you looked at his women? They all have man hands. Not to mention man chests with boobs pasted on. Here's my guy: Botticelli.

Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli (1444 – 1510) is regarded as epitomizing the spirit of the Italian Renaissance. Renowned as one of the greatest colorists in Florence, Botticelli became a favorite member of inner circle of the Medicis.

Little known for centuries after his death, his work was rediscovered in the late 19th century by a group of English Pre-Raphaelites.
