S. Smodlaka Presents: Michelangelo’s Early MasterpiecesDate: Saturday, November 16, 2024Time: 2:00 PM

Join us for an illuminating exploration of Michelangelo Buonarroti’s early works, led by S. Smodlaka at the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum. Known as a Renaissance master, Michelangelo (1475-1564) left an indelible mark on painting, sculpture, architecture, and poetry, blending deep spirituality with an appreciation for Greek and Roman influences and an unrivaled knowledge of human anatomy.

This presentation will showcase his unparalleled skill in his marble masterpieces created before the age of thirty, including:

• The Bacchus – a playful, tipsy god of wine

• The Pietà – a powerful expression of beauty and grief
