Michelangelo: Artist and Genius
This documentary profiles Michelangelo, the towering genius of the Italian Renaissance whose paintings, sculptures and architecture still define Western art. It traces his path from apprentice to the summons by Pope Julius II to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and the extraordinary works that followed. The film treats his talent as the product of relentless labour, ambition and struggle. A rewarding watch for anyone drawn to art history and one of humanity's greatest creators.
