Program Description

Event Details

Join Matt Palczynski, Ph.D., art historian, for an insightful exploration of the life and work of Michelangelo Buonarroti, often hailed as "the divine one" for his unparalleled contributions to Renaissance art. This lecture will trace Michelangelo's remarkable career, examining his key artistic phases and the masterpieces he produced during each phase. From his towering sculptures and iconic frescoes to his architectural feats, discover how Michelangelo's work shaped and fit into the larger Renaissance narrative. Additionally, delve into a lesser-known aspect of his genius — his poetry — and learn how his written words reveal a deeper understanding of his creative mind.

This FREE lecture is being livestreamed in our Community Room. The lecture is presented by Road Scholar.
