Young Michelangelo: sculpture and painting in Florence and Rome, The

Synopsis

Looks at influences on the youthful Michelangelo, showing works by Donatello, Verrocchio and Bertoldo. Also analyses the changes in Michelangelo’s art brought about by his first visit to Rome in 1496. Examines two Michelangelo paintings in the National Gallery, the Sistine Chapel ceiling and the ‘Doni Tondo’ and pictures by Ghirlandaio to draw conclusions about parts of the artists early career. Filmed on location in Florence, the marble quarries of Carrara, and the National Gallery, London.
