#I'm not sure if Machete would be able to afford his services he was already lauded and in high demand in his lifetime

what kind of hobbies does machete have, and is there any artist, musical or visual, that he likes in particular?

He's an avid reader and has an impressive personal library. Crowds and big public events aren't his thing but he enjoys going to theatre and opera occasionally. He commissions and collects art, I'd like to believe he's a patron to at least a couple of painters and sculptors. If I had to pick one artist to be his favorite, I think it might be an obvious choice but I'd have to go with Caravaggio, a contemporary of his.

#look at that chiaroscuro #moody dramatic violent religious Caravaggio #I'm not sure if Machete would be able to afford his services he was already lauded and in high demand in his lifetime #but it's fiction let me believe #fun fact he's one of those famous painters that are frequently speculated to have been gay #he showed up painted some of the most influential works in european art history lived a turbulent life murdered a guy and died young #I keep being bummed about the fact that I can't make Machete a Bernini fanboy #Bernini fits his vibes #but he's very likely already dead by the time Bernini's career kicks off their timelines don't align very well at all #answered #anonymous #Machete
