Exhibition on Screen | Michelangelo: Love and Death

Michelangelo - Love and Death offers a cinematic
journey through the great chapels and museums
of Florence, Rome and the Vatican, to the print
and drawing rooms of Europe, to explore
Michelangelo's tempestuous life. The film goes in
search of a greater understanding of this
charismatic and enigmatic figure, both through
his relationships with his contemporaries and
his ongoing artistic legacy.
The film invites audiences to intimately examine
Michelangelo’s art and artistic process - from the
Carrara quarries where Michelangelo sourced his
marble, to the new technology being used to
attribute works. The film also offers a rare
chance to get up close to the mesmerizing
Rothschild Bronzes, which, following an
extensive research project carried out by
Academics in Cambridge in 2015, were positively
attributed to Michelangelo after over a century of debate.
