    How could you not mention the master troll that was Michelangelo!?!?
    -
    The Sistine Chapel is a beautiful piece that also doubles as a mix of subtle, not-so-subtle, and even literal middle fingers to the church ranging from a cloth surrounding God actually being a painting of the human brain to a rendering of God with a hole cut in the back of his robe showing exactly what you think it would to the bishop in his chair.
    -
    Best of all, the local clergy hired him AGAIN after that (albeit with more guards to keep an eye on him), but Mikey ended up pulling another fast one by painting a fresco that that included a depiction of sinners being cast into Hell with said sinners baring a striking resemblance to the clergy who hired him.

There was also the time when he got on the bad side of the Pope and ended up hiding in a secret room in Medici Chapel for several months, just doodling on the walls, until the Pope promised not to kill him. Oh, and the Pope at the time was a Medici, which makes the whole thing even weirder.

      @GangrenousGandalf a bit late, but here it is from Wikipedia:
      Seventeen-year-old Artemisia Gentileschi (Valentina Cervi), the daughter of Orazio Gentileschi, a renowned Italian painter, exhibits artistic talent, and is encouraged by her father, who has no sons and wishes his art to survive after him. However, in the chauvinistic world of early 17th century Italy, women are forbidden to paint human nudes or enter the Academy of Arts. Orazio allows his daughter to study in his studio, although he draws the line at letting her view nude males. She is direct and determined, and bribes the fisherman Fulvio with a kiss to let her observe his body and draw him.
      Artemisia seeks the tutelage of Agostino Tassi (Mike Manojlovic), who is painting frescoes in the same building as her father, to learn from him the art of perspective. Tassi is a man notorious for his night-time debauchery. The two hone their skills as artists, but they also fall in love, and begin having sexual relations. Artemisia's father discovers the couple together and files a lawsuit against Tassi for rape. During the subsequent trial, Artemisia's physical state is investigated by two nuns, and then she is tortured by cords wound round her fingers. Nevertheless, Artemisia denies being raped, and proclaims their mutual love. Tassi himself, devastated by her plight, admits to raping her in order to stop her ordeal.

    Years back, I watched an Imax film at the Boston Museum of Science about a parachuting group testing out da Vinci's parachute design. It worked fantastically (obviously) and they intended to do further research into the design and see what else could be learned from it. Even centuries later, Leonardo da Vinci's taking us to school.
    Which is why everyone should hug Leonardo. Do it now.
