The Divine Michelangelo

Season 1 Episode 2: Mark of Genius

The second part follows Michelangelo at the height of his powers, from carving David out of a flawed block of marble to the gruelling creation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and his later architectural work on the dome of St Peter’s Basilica. The episode examines how one artist produced such an astonishing range of sculpture, painting, and design, and why his reputation became almost superhuman.
