Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty

2024 – 2024

Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty explores the lives of three rival artists - Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael – who created seductively beautiful works of art during an age of violence and upheaval. Featuring contributions from contemporary artists Antony Gormley, Alison Lapper, David LaChapelle, a host of experts and a star turn from Charles Dance as the older Michelangelo, this landmark series reveals how some of history's greatest works of art, from Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa to Michelangelo's David, emerged from an era of brutality and bloodshed.
