Buy From Art.com   Biography   Sodoma was one of the most outstanding painters of the Renaissance era. The prevailing characteristic of his paintings are tortured expressions and intense contrasts of color.  He was a man of unconventional habits and ideas, of tremendous resolve, extraordinary boldness, and huge appetites.   Art historian, Vasari, revealed that the name 'Sodoma' stands for 'the sodomite' and asserted "His manner of life was licentious and dishonorable, and as he always boys and beardless youths about him of whom he was inordinately fond, this earned him the nickname of Sodoma"   The church and wealthy patrons prized Sodoma's paintings for their feverish zealotry and spiritual exuberance. His subjects, like his predecessors, are all religious – the Virgin Mary, the Life of Christ, the Apostles, Angeles and the Life of Saint Sebastian.
