*** START TIME IS US EST *** In the world of Renaissance Florence, one man and one sculpture reign supreme. Join art historian Emily to unravel the fascinating story of Michelangelo’s sculpture of David, and find out why the artist’s most famous sculpture would fast become an icon of the Florentine Republic. On this immersive virtual tour we’ll be tracing Michelangelo’s early life from his humble origins in the Tuscan countryside to the rarefied surroundings of the Medici court, where the amazingly precocious sculptor set out on the road to becoming one of the greatest artists the world has ever known. At the heart of our tour is the towering figure of David: discover how Michelangelo transformed a defective block of marble into living stone, and learn how David has stood silent watch as protector of the city for over 500 years. Our virtual tour is the perfect introduction to the art of the Renaissance – join Emily today!
