How a sculpture garden shaped the evolution of a Renaissance master
In short: Explore the pivotal 1490s in Florence through the lens of Lorenzo de' Medici's sculpture garden. This symposium examines how these dramatic forces and specific works influenced the development of a young Michelangelo.
Hosted by The Met, this symposium features Caroline Elam of the Warburg Institute. The discussion centers on the formative decade of the 1490s, focusing on the confluence of artistic and political forces in Renaissance Florence.
Central to the conversation is the 'Young Archer,' a fragmentary marble statue recently loaned by the French Republic. Scholars use this piece to reflect on the evolution of Michelangelo's early style and the broader cultural environment of the Medici circle.
