Michelangelo is widely regarded as the most notable artist of the Italian High Renaissance. His brilliance is apparent in every medium in which he worked and with every tool he used. His remarkable achievements in painting, sculpture and architecture define and embody the Italian Renaissance. We will explore Michelangelo’s life, work and legacy, and the nature and extent of his influence on subsequent generations. We will examine in detail Michelangelo’s key works, such as the “David” and “Pieta” statues, as well as the Sistine Chapel frescoes.
