I like this pic. Did you consider to leave a little bit more space to the right because that's the direction he's facing? It gives the image a bit more space.
@paul10 He was indeed menacing. In his sermons he made pointed allusions to tyrants who usurped the freedom of the people, and he excoriated their allies, the rich and powerful who neglected and exploited the poor. Complaining of the evil lives of a corrupt clergy, he now called for repentance and renewal before the arrival of a divine scourge. But it ended bad for him...
Actually, he was right, wasn't he? Maybe a bit melodramatic, but right. Still, I don't suppose the Medici's ever heard the phrase "don't shoot the messenger" did they?
In part he was right, but he was a fanatic, kind of an integralist, preaching the destruction of secular art and culture. Can you imagine the Florence of the Medici without its art and culture? We would be all poorer
