How the 1490s shaped the genius of a young Michelangelo

Michelangelo Symposium Part 8: Carmen Bambach · 31:14 · Video: The Met · Watch at the source

In short: This symposium examines the pivotal decade in Florence that defined Michelangelo's early artistic evolution, prompted by the presence of a significant fragmentary marble statue on loan from the French Republic.

Scholars gathered to analyze the formation of Michelangelo's style during the 1490s, a period of intense dramatic forces in Renaissance Florence. The discussion was sparked by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's acquisition of the fragmentary marble 'Young Archer,' a work many experts attribute to the master.
