From the towering statue of David to the Sistine Chapel, the spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo leave us breathless to this day. This documentary explores the artist’s tempestuous life, taking us on a cinematic journey from the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome, and the Vatican. Using expert commentary and the artist’s own words, Michelangelo: Love & Death takes a fresh look at an enigmatic man who stands among the greatest artists of the Renaissance—and perhaps of all time.
