Michelangelo
During the sixteenth century, the Florentine artist Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) was regarded as a genius, and since that time more has been written about him than any other artist of the Italian Renaissance. His ability to work in diverse media, namely painting, sculpture, and architecture, as well as the power of his works (what his contemporaries described as his
terribilità
), earned him this prominent position in the history of art and made him one of the most influential artists of the early modern period. This course will trace various aspects of Michelangelo's long, sometimes troubled, and vibrant career, focusing on such issues as his techniques, patrons, and innovative style. Special emphasis will be placed on interpreting primary sources in order to better understand his life and works and to place them within their proper artistic, historical, social, and religious context(s).
