DETAILS: The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance artist? His genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter, and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today.

Spanning 88 years, Michaelangelo: Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe, exploring the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome, and the Vatican. The film reveals deeper insights into the artist’s tempestuous life, his relationships with contemporaries, and his remarkable legacy.

With expert commentary, stunning visuals, and Michelangelo’s own words, this 90-minute film offers a fresh perspective on a master artist whose life and genius are evident in every mark he made.
