Catholicism: The Pivotal Players Season 1 Episode 6 Michelangelo: The Artist 2016
10/10 by 1 users
Called in his own lifetime il Divino, Michelangelo is generally regarded as the greatest artist that Western culture has produced. How wonderful that the subject matter of this most sublime of artistic geniuses was almost exclusively the Christian religion. The Pieta, the David, the Sistine Chapel. His work—in painting, architecture, and sculpture—is rightly characterized as representing the high point of the Renaissance, but it should also be appreciated as one of the signal contributions to the Catholic tradition, easily ranking with the work of Aquinas, Augustine, Mozart, and Dante.
