How the 1490s shaped the genius of Michelangelo
In short: This symposium examines the formative decade of Michelangelo's career in Florence. It explores the dramatic forces that influenced his evolution, prompted by the Metropolitan Museum's recent loan of the fragmentary marble statue Young Archer.
The discussion focuses on the pivotal 1490s in Florence, a period of intense cultural and political change. Scholars analyze the evolution of the young Michelangelo during this era, using the fragmentary marble 'Young Archer'—recently loaned by the French Republic to The Met—as a central subject for reflection on his early stylistic development.
