Sadly, Audrey Munson is perhaps America’s first example of the cruel rise and fall of celebrity status. By the early 1920’s, Audrey’s life was filled with continuous challenges and tragedies.

Today her face, forever immortalized in bronze, stone, and copper throughout New York City, stares back at us, like a ghost from a haunted past.

In this episode, we bring her life and legacy the justice she deserves.

She stands with her wings spread high above New York City’s Municipal Building, greets readers at the entrance to the New York Public Library, welcomes visitors to the Brooklyn Museum, and salutes guests of the Plaza Hotel. New Yorkers pass her sculpted image every day, but few know her name, or that her life story is one of the most riveting and tragic stories to come out of the 20th century.

Simonetta Vespucci

Listen to ArtMuse’s episode on Simonetta Vespucci, a Genoese noblewoman living in Florence during the 15th century. Deemed the most beautiful woman in all of Florence, Simonetta captured the heart of Florence’s greatest leaders, artists, poets, and intellectuals of her time.

It is believed that Simonetta was the model for Botticelli’s two greatest works; The Birth of Venus and Primavera.

But Simonetta Vespucci’s real life has been clouded by longheld folklore and fantasy. In this episode, we peel back the many layers of myth and give Simonetta, as a woman in her own right, the recognition she deserves.
