How the turbulent 1490s shaped the young Michelangelo
In short: Explore the formative decade of a Renaissance master. This symposium introduction examines the dramatic forces in Florence that influenced Michelangelo's early development and artistic evolution.
Luke Syson, curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, introduces a gathering of international scholars focused on the 1490s in Florence. The program reflects on the confluence of historical forces during this era and investigates the evolution of the young artist.
A central focus of the discussion is the 'Young Archer,' a fragmentary marble statue recently loaned by the French Republic to The Met, which many scholars attribute to Michelangelo.
