ARTH 20.01 Michelangelo

Michelangelo Buonarroti, called "Il Divino" in his own lifetime, was the dominant practitioner of painting, sculpture and architecture in sixteenth-century Italy. This course will focus on Michelangelo’s most famous creations in the light of recent restorations and new scholarship. Finally, we will look at the intersection of his visual works with his biography: how these works relate to Michelangelo’s creation of his own image, chiefly through the works of his biographers Vasari and Condivi.
