Il Divino Michelangelo & Il Genio Da Vinci
Event
“Il Divino Michelangelo & Il Genio Da Vinci” is an abstract journey inspired by the artistic creation of two great Renaissance artists: Da Vinci (Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci, 1452-1519) and Michelangelo (Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, 1475-1564).
The journey begins with the legacy of the artist Michelangelo, known as the Divine One. We approach his work from its genesis to its influences in the various artistic aspects - painting, sculpture and architecture.
As if he were anointed by God to materialise it, Michelangelo shapes several iconic works. In the show, we revisited the hand in the fresco of The Creation of Adam (fresco, 1511), the sculptures of David (1501) the warrior who faced Goliath, and of Bacchus (1596). There are also references to Roman mythology and biblical references like the work of the Pietà (sculpture, 1498) and several paintings on the Sistine Chapel’s Ceiling (1508-1512) where it is possible to observe “The Flood” and “The Last Judgment”. The journey ends at the starting point: The Creation of Adam.
The next stage of the trip follows, where we contemplate the mind of the restless genius Leonardo Da Vinci, in a visual show through his writings, research, inventions and studies, up to his main works, such as Vitruvian Man (1490), the paintings of Last Supper (1495-98) and the Mona Lisa (1503-06).
