The 1490s: A Decade That Forged Michelangelo's Artistic Identity
In short: Explore the pivotal decade in Florence that shaped one of history's greatest masters. This symposium examines how a specific confluence of dramatic forces and artistic influences defined the evolution of the young Michelangelo.
The symposium focuses on the 1490s, a transformative period for Renaissance Florence. It centers on the formation of Michelangelo’s style, prompted by the recent loan of the fragmentary marble statue 'Young Archer'—a work many scholars attribute to him—from the French Republic to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Scholars will analyze how these dramatic forces intersected to create a new artistic language. The discussion provides context on the evolution of Michelangelo’s early work, supported by research from Colin Eisler and other international experts.
