15 – Michelangelo – 1 of 3 – David and the Sistene & Medici Chapels

About Buildings + Cities - En podcast af Luke Jones & George Gingell Discuss Architecture, History and Culture

Kategorier:

The first of a three-parter in which we try to understand the work, and myth, of Michelangelo Buonarroti, referred to by followers as ‘the Divine’, and genuinely described by his biographer as a messenger sent from God to stop people from doing bad art.

It’s a long recording and we may have spent a bit too long talking about the ‘New Sacristy’ in Florence. But the 15 minute, rhapsodic description of David’s perfect body?

We regret it Not At All.

Some slightly excessive chat about a particular part of David's body but otherwise extremely wholesome.
