Result · What Era Should You Have Lived In?

Renaissance Florence

You run on workshops, long apprenticeships and commissions. That was the system: you entered a master's studio around thirteen and ground pigment for years before touching a painting, and Brunelleschi's dome went up without central scaffolding, using a hoist he had to invent himself. What would have worn you out: nothing happened without a patron. Your subjects, your deadlines and sometimes the faces you painted were set by contract. And the city was politically lethal — Savonarola ruled Florence, then was hanged and burned on the same square in 1498, four years after making the city burn its own luxuries. You'd have spent your life picking the right side.
