The dramatic forces that shaped the young Michelangelo
In short: Explore the pivotal 1490s in Florence through the lens of a single fragmentary marble statue. This symposium examines how a specific decade of artistic evolution defined one of history's greatest masters.
The symposium centers on the 'Young Archer,' a fragmentary marble statue recently loaned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by the French Republic. While its attribution to Michelangelo is a subject of scholarly debate, it serves as a catalyst for discussing the artist's formative years.
Led by Nicholas Penny, the program investigates the confluence of cultural and dramatic forces in Renaissance Florence. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of how these influences shaped the evolution of Michelangelo's early sculptural style.
