Only artist on Sartle to have a beer named after him
An enigma. All we really have are his utterly bizarre and awesome paintings
Canvas dealer's son
He's got 99 problems, but ale ain't one
Sigmund Freud's grandson, a mega womanizer who also liked to drink and fight
Supposedly knew the secret of the Holy Grail
Big Daddy of it all
A better painter than lawyer
Married the virgin mother of Jesus and was betrayed by one of his pupils
Awful person, signed hundreds of death warrants
Doyen of the domestic interior
Looked great naked.
Equally comfortable with religion and softcore porn
He sort of invented being an artist
So popular in Spain that even today a good painting is called a "Murillo"
Refused to be knighted
Dude loved his dots
Hated Caravaggio with a passion, but bit his style
Before there was Gangnam style there was "Makartstil". Hitler approved.
We don't look good until you look good
2 fast 2 furioso
Would have a reality show today
His family reluctantly accepted his painter lifestyle
"Of Derby" is not an acceptable last name.
