“Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence c.1504” at the Royal Academy: An Exhibition Introduction
Monday 25th November 6.00PM GMTINTRODUCTION
A major exhibition at the Royal Academy will open this November, exploring the relationship between three of the greatest artists of the early 16th century: Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, both Tuscan by birth, and the young Raphael, who came to Florence in 1504.
A notable result of the increased status of the arts during the Renaissance was the sense of competition between not only patrons but also the artists themselves. Nowhere was this more pronounced than in Italy, where the rivalry between these three artists not only drove the production of great works of art, but also led to important areas of collaboration. Alongside major examples of sculpture, drawing and painting, the exhibition will showcase studies for Leonardo and Michelangelo’s unfinished murals, designed for the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. This will provide a unique occasion to study these seminal designs alongside one another.
Join us for an introductory, interactive talk with Art History in Focus director Siân Walters. Participate live or watch on catch-up.
