THE spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this renaissance genius?
Who was this ambitious and passionate man? Find out more when Michelangelo – Love and Death is screened at Theatr Mwldan in Cardigan on Monday, June 26 (6.45pm).
A virtuoso craftsman, Michelangelo’s artistry is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the deeply moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling still leave us breathless today.
Spanning his 89 years, Michelangelo – Love and Death takes a cinematic journey from the print and drawing rooms of Europe, through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to explore the tempestuous life of Michelangelo.
Tickets for this Exhibition On Screen event at Mwldan are £10 (£9) and are available to book from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, online or via smart phone at www.mwldan.co.uk
