Michelangelo’s Grocery List

January 2, 2014 by Chris Durso

Even Michelangelo, one of the greatest minds in recorded history, was capable of forgetting to pick up eggs and laundry detergent. Brought to us by Casa Buonarroti in Florence, Italy — this sample, from their Michelangelo collection, shows a grocery list illustrated by the artist himself.

Drawn for his servant who was illiterate, the list calls for a herring, tortelli, two fennel soups, four anchovies and ‘a small quarter of a rough wine.’ Hopefully he gave him all the coupons too.

We’ve found another set of parents cooler than yours… The Kirbys create awesome illustrations on napkins, that they include in their two sons’ lunchboxes. And, not only are the cartoons very well executed, they’re extremely prolific, as two new napkins are created every day.
