How the 1490s shaped the genius of Michelangelo
In short: This video explores the formative decade of Michelangelo's life in Florence. It examines how the intense cultural and political forces of the 1490s influenced the young artist's evolution and artistic identity.
Professor James Hankins of Harvard University examines the confluence of dramatic forces that shaped Renaissance Florence during a pivotal decade. The discussion is prompted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's recent loan of the fragmentary marble statue Young Archer, a work many scholars attribute to Michelangelo.
