The Renaissance is known for its heady combination of sex, art and exciting new ideas about the world. Was Raphael, one of the superstar painters of the period, a Renaissance top shagger? Were sex workers essential to the artistic process of painting nudes? Why did historians think he died from having too much sex? Joining Kate today is the wonderful professor and author, Jill Burke, to help us get to know this man better. This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Stuart Beckwith.
