Italian Renaissance sculptor to the Kings and Queens of England (that's his bust of King Henry VII above)
Arguably the greatest artist who ever lived, part of the Holy Trinity of Italian Renaissance masters
The baroque master of chiaroscuro, turning the dance of darkness and light into story and character
One of the greatest painters of the early Renaissance was nothing if not a man of his times
The generic British word for dessert is "pudding."
In the 19th century, the "g" was sometimes pronounced as a harder "k." Sometimes, the "n" got dropped. Sometimes that was shortened by slicing off the "pud."
In other words, small, incremental changes resulted in pudding->puddink->puddik->dick.
It's not meant to be dirty; it's just a Victorian synonym for "dessert."
Pepper a cake with currants or raisins, and you get "spots" in your pudding, hence: spotted dick.
