Miss Nancy - actually, the most recent of my favorited artists who left did works based on Renaissance art and writing.  he was in the midst of religious based works with babies, and i thought nothing of it until his whole gallery disappeared.   and frankly, none of us are Brom, Frazetta, or Vallejo, but those are the major influences on the galleries.  i don't think it's awful or automatically hubris if someone choses Michelangelo, Caravaggio and da Vinci instead.
