Real Christians can be evil, inhuman monsters. Like Luther, who called for genocide of Jews. Or Savonarola, who called for genocide of Jews. Or Gregory of Nyssa, who called for genocide of Jews. Or John Chrysomom, who called for genocide of Jews. I could go on.

DYK #Savonarola tried to revive stoning & public burning at the stake for #QueerSex/#bestiality in 1495 Florence? "Make a pretty fire, or two or three, there in the square, of these sodomites. …make a fire that can be smelled in all of Italy." Blog7 HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

Awkward Googling for Writers, #48
What would Savonarola’s go-to order be at @Starbucks?

Almost certainly a plain black tea - austere, and free from sinful luxury. Milk and sugar would be moral failings; ice or syrup would be heresy.

Two of the most dangerous things about him. He thinks he's doing god's will (think Savonarola, Spanish Inquisition) and that he is better than everyone else because of it.

Room update: the chair is reassembled. Expect some photos of Reynard in this chair soon as I can get everything in its place.
Looking toward my room door. There is a shelf on the wall with some decorative items. There is a carved wooden Savonarola chair. There is an old Bakelite switch on the wall. There is a Moroccan lantern with blue glass hanging from the ceiling and an imitation cowhide rug.

Room so far. You can see my lantern, my shelf with hooks for bags etc. and that thing bundled up in cardboard is my one remaining piece of furniture from the US, an old Savonarola chair.

George Eliot's "Romola" spoiler alert:

I'm on Chapter 40, and Savonarola really does Romola dirty. Like, let her have her independence and find her own damn purpose. Tsk.

Jean-Michel Basquiat :
Versus Medici, 1982

acrylic, oilstick, paper collage on 3 joined canvases
214 × 137.9 cm | 84.25 × 54.25 in

Further description in the alt text 👇
Versus Medici was completed in October 1982, when Basquiat was 21 years old. Basquiat's former studio assistant Stephen Torton reflected to Sotheby's that during his employment, summer of 1982 to summer 1983, Basquiat was "into the Renaissance." His fascination with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo is a central theme in his some of famous works from this period, including Leonardo da Vinci's Greatest Hits (1982) and Florence (1983). Versus Medici "is among Basquiat’s most forceful visual challenges to the Western art establishment, in which the young artist boldly crowns himself successor to the artistic throne as established by the masters of the Italian Renaissance." When asked about the inspiration for the work, Torton recalled that Basquiat was particularly interested in the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola, who became the sole leader of Florence after overthrowing the ruling Medici family in 1494. "I've wondered if this painting isn't a portrait of Savonarola. It was Savonarola who was truly versus the Medici," said Torton. Basquiat depicted Savonarola in the painting Toussaint L'Overture Versus Savonarola (1983). This piece references the Medici family - sold for $50.8 million in May 2021.

The Nativity https://www.artic.edu/artworks/184371/
The young Baccio della Porta came under the spell of the charismatic Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola, joining his monastic order as Fra (Friar) Bartolommeo in 1500 and forsaking his painting career for several years. Returning to painting in 1504, he looked to the most lyrical and harmonious recent works of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo to form his own style, which was characterized by a new, quiet spirituality. The palette of saturated blue, red, and green announces the Holy Family, while the muted tones of the angels’ garments establish an otherworldly presence. Here he treated the Nativity in a traditional, though especially intimate, manner. The Virgin kneels humbly as she gazes at the Christ Child, while Joseph assumes a pose of restrained wonderment, as if suddenly aware of the infant’s divine nature. The family shelters in a rustic stall erected within the ruins of an edifice understood to be the palace of David at Bethlehem. This juxtaposition of architecture symbolizes Christ’s establishment of his new church on the Old Testament order of the Jews. Reinforcing this device is a young tree springing from a remnant of ancient stones directly above the infant. Ethel T. Scarborough Fund; John G. Searle Family Trust, L. L. and A. S.

La Storia non insegna, ma Savonarola sí. Almeno quello ce lo ricordiamo. In effetti non ci ricordiamo i suoi roghi di libri e di opere d'arte ed anche di qualche persona (lui incluso).

Savonarola with these stormy skies on my way home last night was just too funny not to post. His grumpy presence reaches far beyond the grave (or the arno)

And Christian Europe begins to ask “if we are God’s chosen religion, why has Christendom suffered these devastating setbacks”

Many, such as Savonarola, Martin Luther, Henry VIII, and John Calvin blamed the Church and its incorporation of paganism into local theology

Rick Wilson going full Savonarola in wanting to completely eradicate any trace of Trump and his legacy... a revenge fantasy that involves demolishing any White House additions Trump made, purging the administration of Quislings, and generally making the MAGATs cry.

The Rise And Fall Of The Florentine Friar
Girolamo Savonarola's denunciations of luxury during the Renaissance drew the ire of the Catholic Church, which had him excommunicated, tortured, hanged, and burned in 1498. Daderot/Wikimedia CommonsA statue of Girolamo Savonarola in Ferrara, Italy. Just the word Florence evokes a world of art, and power, and beauty. The Italian city was the cradle of the Renaissance, and hosted such masters as da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli.

October is Italian Heritage Month
This is the Bronze plaque on Piazza della Signoria in Florence marking the spot where Savonarola was burned at the stake for heresy. The Florentines really knew how to get rid of a bad leader.
