Depicts the scandalous Banquet of Chestnuts, an event allegedly hosted by Cesare Borgia in 1501, where courtesans entertained guests in a provocative manner. The painting emphasizes the sexual aspects of the banquet, which has sparked significant controversy and debate over its historical authenticity and artistic choices.
I recommend reading up on it if you find it even mildly intriguing.

Cesare, the son of Rodrigo Borgia. The pope. He later robbed the Vatican.
They were just a lovely family 💕

The highest-placed mafia family in modern history, as I understand it.
