Description:

This course is an introduction to the work of Michelangelo, one of the major artists of the 16th century.

Special attention will be given to his most important cycles, namely the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel and the sculptures of the Medici Tombs. Although the focus of the course will be on the paintings, sculptures, and drawings by the artist, other areas of creativity such as architecture, poetry, and aesthetics will be touched upon.
