LEONARDO AND MICHELANGELO. Masterpieces of Design and Roman Studies.

An in-depth comparison between the two Italian Renaissance masters will be presented for the first time at an exhibition featuring 66 drawings: those by Da Vinci come from the collection at Milan’s Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana and those by Michelangelo arrive from the Casa Buonarroti Foundation in Florence. The exhibit is offering an initial section entitled “Masterpieces among Masterpieces”, which is a mirror-like presentation of Italy’s two supreme Renaissance artists. This is truly a rare opportunity to ponder the works of these two great artists that should not be passed up. They are often considered as “rivals”, but they actually always looked upon one another’s work with great interest.
