Michelangelo - Love and Death

The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this renaissance genius?

A virtuoso craftsman, Michelangelo's artistry is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the deeply moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today.

In Michelangelo - Love and Death we go in search of a greater understanding of this most charismatic figure, his relationship with his contemporaries and his valuable artistic legacy. This film takes a fresh look at an enigmatic man whose life is celebrated in every mark and every stroke he made.
