Did a fragmentary marble statue change our view of Michelangelo?
In short: This video explores the pivotal 1490s in Florence, examining how the young Michelangelo evolved amidst the dramatic forces of the Renaissance through the lens of a controversial marble sculpture.
The discussion centers on the 'Young Archer,' a fragmentary marble statue recently loaned by the French Republic to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many scholars attribute this work to Michelangelo, and its presence prompts a deeper reflection on the artist's early development and his relationship to the sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni.
