OK, I'll take it - if you tell us what the answer was! I got nothing today...

No, I didn't get absolutely nothing, I forgot. But "Michelangelo" was too long, and that's the only "painter of Pietà" I could think of! Perhaps it was one of the other Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles?

So who painted Pieta? 
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, but couldn't figure it out. All I could get was something to do with pirate (pieta rule together), but I couldn't figure any more out and got stuck with this line of reasoning. So what's the answer?

Michelangelo BUONARROTI?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Michelangelo's famous Pietà is a statue, not painting... and what BUONARROTI means?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Our cook told me that it means 'in hot chilli sauce'.
I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins.

Buonarroti was Michelangelo's family name.

It was Titian I had in mind.
|
|
|
|

Many different painters:
Pietà - Wikipedia
Which agrees with your clue. Still I have NEI. To put it politely.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

OK, here is the answer.
Many = poly + Titian[^]
rule together
Politician.
I tried to go for a more obvious Titian painting, but those with two names didnt work in the sentence.

Uh, his name was Tiziano.

If I wrote the clue in Italian that might matter. 
|
|
|
|

Trump couldn't pronounce that, so now it is Titian.

I'm surprised that Trump would give up the "ano", given his sex life.

He does indeed look like an "upfront" man person individual.

Well the spellings are both wrong, and no indication in the clue that they were soundexes.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you have to leave something up to the imagination.
|
|
|
|
|
Most people stick to the accepted conventions of compiling clues.
|
|
|
|
|
Is there such a thing? I never do CCC so I wouldnt know.
Still, most people seemed to like the last clue.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, anyone who regularly does crosswords will understand them.
