Description
Michelangelo: The Last Decades
This booklet accompanies a major exhibition at the British Museum in May 2024, featuring loans from the Vatican Library and the Louvre. It offers a unique insight into Michelangelo's late drawings, which reflect his Catholic faith, intellectual engagement, and hope for eternal life.
Explore the artist's collaborative working relationships with younger artists, as well as his personal drawings that served as spiritual meditations on Christ's death. Discover how Michelangelo reimagined the iconography of religious art and designed significant sites in Rome, including St Peter's Basilica.
