I gotta hand it to them, they are very good at marketing to potential voters. All I’ve learned is that the average voter can only be reached with bright colours, 3 words or less, and constant repetition. People don’t have the attention span for much more than that.

Those ads work. My 60yo mother told me, “I don’t know much about him but he just seems sneaky to me for some reason.”

And then I later saw the intentionally sinister red-washed ads and it all made sense.

Paolo Uccello dies 1475 Raphael came into contact with the works of Paolo Uccello, previously the court painter, after Uccello’s death in 1475.

It seems to be flagging simply that Paolo Uccello died in 1475 (in the title of this card), and Raphael encountered these paintings some time after Paolo died, which isn’t incorrect.

• Paolo died, Raphael was born, Raphael encountered Paolo’s paintings.

The description is just worded a little wonky. It probably should say something like “The death of a court painter whose art may have posthumously influenced Raphael when he was young.”

The sentence in the Wikipedia article:

In Urbino, he came into contact with the works of Paolo Uccello, previously the court painter (d. 1475), and Luca Signorelli, who until 1498 was based in nearby Città di Castello.[14]

My boost for reddit suddenly stopped working last week, so I figured I may as well see what all this is about. Happened to coincide with what seems to be an increase in reddit’s content moderation where even peoples’ votes are being policed.
