Join me, Leslie Primo, and a host of fellow art historians and experts as we delve into the captivating world of competition, rivalry, and begrudging admiration among three of the Renaissance’s most iconic figures: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. These extraordinary personalities, each a towering genius in their own right, shared a momentous period of artistic convergence in Florence around 1504.
Their remarkable achievements are celebrated in the stunning @royalacademyarts exhibition Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence, c.1504. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore how these titans of the Renaissance inspired, challenged, and rivaled one another, leaving an indelible mark on the history of art.
To complement this exploration, the three-part @bbc_culture series Renaissance: The Blood and Beauty brings their dramatic rivalry, extraordinary artistry, and enduring legacy vividly to life. I’m thrilled to contribute to this series, offering insights into the world of these iconic artists. Be sure to catch the next episode airing tonight on BBC2 at 21:00, or stream it anytime on @bbciplayer.
