It’s Friday, so hang up your scruples and enjoy a few vices.
But don’t do anything too Machiavellian.
Unless you want to of course.
I have gone with a Machievellian theme for this week’s ‘Artist’s Corner’
Because this week I present my fairly rubbish drawing of none other than Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, a man as underhand and duplicitous as they came.
I imagine.
I don’t know, I haven’t done even the most basic research for this.
Maybe he just wrote stuff with duplicitous character in and he was actually a nice chap.
Although, if my artistic rendition is to be believed (and in the end what other evidence do we have?) he probably was a little bit naughty.
Chi sta fingendo? Sono davvero senza scrupoli!

Mostly, Machiavelli was trying to stay alive. Being on the wrong political side could mean your death in fifteenth century Florence. He wrote an Art of War book that was interesting…

I find the internal politics of my workplace to be challenging enough – I might peruse his work after all…
