$\begingroup$ Joining to htmlcoderexe: and how did you come up with having to use the same solution for each singular "A_MS" but a different one for each singular "BEA_"? $\endgroup$– zovitsFeb 4, 2022 at 14:47

$\begingroup$ @htmlcoderexe and zovits — I will be curious to hear user39583's answer, but the way I envisioned someone solving it would be: first, make a list of all the letters that could fit in the blanks, and then rearrange the letters to see what words begin to emerge. $\endgroup$ Feb 4, 2022 at 15:12

2$\begingroup$ @SlowMagic That's pretty much it, although it seemed quite impossible to start from the beginning so I had to start by spotting the Michelangelo at the end and then recognizing the quote. $\endgroup$ Feb 4, 2022 at 15:34
