To think about the anatomical and dress details of this grandiose work of art and then finding yourself, as I happened to be right directly in front of such a sculpture you realize the artistic greatness and the great genius of Michelangelo.
Someone once said, "If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't understand it yourself." Clearly, and luckily for me, this does NOT apply to you! What a well-thought-out presentation. I'd like to thank you in four different languages too, but I'm not that talented. 🙏
It is mind blowing that a human brain, a human body, has the thoughts and skills to be able to manipulate and mould solid stone to make these stunning creations. Muscles, robes, skin, emotions, action... from solid stone. WOW!
When I visited at Vatian, I bought round postcard in which printed Pieta is printed. about 47 years ago. I'm watching Pieta every day on the wall in the small frame. 92yrs.Japanese.
Having visited all of these places and seen these works more than once I would have to say that the unfinished bound captives and other unfinished works found in Florence and the Pieta are my favorites. The unfinished sculptures bring to life Michelangelo’s concept that his job was to liberate the innate statue from the marble. Nothing prepared me for the affect of actually seeing the Pieta in real life. Every time I’ve visited it I cry. There’s such pathos and such a deep sense of divinity about it. I’ve heard people who have stood beside me at the Vatican say that they don’t believe in God and yet they feel something that they can’t express when they see this statue. That is a testament to Michelangelo’s genius!
I felt the same when I saw the Pieta. I stood there motionless for a while on the verge of tears. There is tragedy of the moment and at the same time acceptance, mother's love and sacrifice.
I cried when I saw David because I was awstruck. I was completely captiated by the Pieta and it's beauty and depth. I was stunned that Michaelangelo was only twenty-three when he sculpted that extraordinary, divinely-inspired work of art.
I was in Europe this Summer and I watched your video on Rome while waiting in line for the Pantheon. It enhanced my appreciation for the city so much while I was there! I was so excited to walk around it with all the context. I just finished watching this video and it honestly blew me away. I thought I knew about these works when I saw them in Florence and Rome. My eyes have been opened, this was so extremely fascinating and you presented it perfectly
Thank you so much! I have actually been to the Sistine Chapel when I was a little boy over 6 decades ago. And I walked right up to the Pieta and could have touched it, as there were no barriers or protections around it. But no one ever explained the paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel as well as you have in this video. I look forward to part two with great anticipation.
@@icarus5726 __Thank you. You are correct. I had accidently comingled my childhood's two most impressionable experiences of Michelangelo's masterpieces in that one posting.
@@mikeifyouplease fully understand I have just come back from Rome and the Sistene Chapel just blew me away...no videos or photos prepare you for it Absolutely stunning And my favourite artwork in the world the Pietta Michelangelo carved when he was 23. An absolute genius
These are documentary level videos and we're so lucky to have them. Just like the artwork you explain to us, this video is a true masterpiece and work of art. Thank you thank you thank you!
Michaelangelos pieta is the greatest work of art ever created by human hands. i have never seen it in person. But i am awestruck looking at pictures of it. it must be overwhelming standing in front of this marvel
Wonderful video, thank you. I'm studying Michelangelo now. The more I study his art, the more I realize I don't know. He was a true genius in craft and concept.
I just used this for my homeschool. My eight and six year old thoroughly enjoyed and were able to follow this video. Thank you for helping us revel in this beautiful art!
I saw the Pieta when it was in Canada at The World's Fair. At that time you could walk right up to it with only a rope around it . I could not take my eyes off of it for some time. It looked alive ! That's the only way I can describe it. What a masterpiece.
Great video as usual! Supposedly another reason the proportions of the David are strange is because it was originally comissioned as 1 of 12 sculptures (from different artists) that were supposed the line the roof of the Duomo. While the head, neck, and torso look really large and long at ground level, the extreme viewing angle when looking at it on the roof from the ground (about 250 feet or something close to that) it would look fairly normal and properly proportioned. If true, it shows how remarkable his skills and grasp of perspective and foreshortening were. A true master.
You’ve moved me to tears with your explanations. I’ve always known him to be one of my favorite artist in history, amazed by his work but could never fully explain to those around me why he was so amazing. You’ve perfectly assembled the verbiage needed to do so. Absolutely breathtaking knowledge you’ve bestowed on us. God bless you. ❤ God bless you.
This video is succinct and yet full of greta information. I habe watch three of his videos and am now subscribed! I entered St. Peter's basilica in Spring of 2003 ( ascension Thursday) and wept in front of Michelangelo's Pieta - it was uncontrollable... I didn't know where it came from. I was unable to view the Sistine chapel, due to the Holy Day. Since I was unable to stay another day, I was sad to accept that i would have to visit Rome some other time in the future. Twenty years of marriage and four children later, I plan to visit this April ❤ God willing!
You have done your homework, each word is relatable like a hypnosis session. Now I cant unsee all these paintings without having your voice in my ears. You have become Michelangelo of explanation in doing all this. Good work, keep it up. Love and support from USA.
Dear Manuel, I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful youtube about MichaelAngelo! You have such awesome knowledge and understanding, you have such an amazing and blessed talent for communicating that knowledge and thought so clearly and yet also so inspirationally! I am eager to watch Video 2 and to follow your future work! Once again, THANK YOU!
Another insightful, beautifully produced video, Manuel. Glad you emphasized the links between Michelangelo and “mannerist” sculptures like the ancient Laocoon. Contemporaries saw this as an advance but, for all Michelangelo’s magnificence, the classical poise of a Phidias appeals to me even more. Keep up the great work!
When I was in Florence, the guide said the head and hands were larger so they could be more easily seen from the ground, as the statue was originally meant to sit atop of the duamo
I stumbled on your channel from this video. I absolutely love Michelangelo. He’s my favorite historical figure. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos
Hola Manuel!! Qué precioso trabajo!!! Con detalles técnicos pero sencillamente explicados para quienes no somos especialistas en el tema. Mil gracias. Saludos desde Argentina
OMG! This is such a Serendipity indeed! Such High Quality Presentation of Michelangelo & his Masterpieces! 🙏 Thank You So Much Manuel Bravo for the wondrous & educational tour! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊
I saw the Pieta before all the safety barriers were up... We were in Rome for a week,but my friends just let me be in front of the work!!I cried and cried at the perfect beauty of it .The hand of the Christ ,and the sorrowful face of His mother just kept me entranced.... To this day,it is to me as if I am still standing there ........
Manuel, thank you...Michelangelo Video 1 is intelligent, beautiful and amazingly informative. I really appreciate your skills as a teacher... this one a Master Class! Well done...and I am looking forward to the second video on Michelangelo (architecture).
Beautiful essay. I was lucky this year and could visit Rome for the first time. Oneself isn't the same after seeing Michelangelo, Raphael, or Caravaggio so closely
Me gustan tanto tus vídeos que los veo siempre dos vezes, una en inglés e una en español, que me ayuda a practicar una lengua que me gusta muchísimo! Muchas gracias por tus vídeos magníficos!
Great video. When I was in Florence, someone told me the reason why the David has a big head and large hands was because it was supposed to stand way up on the roof of the cathedral. By making the head and hands bigger, looking to it from below you get the sense of being more close to the statue.
amazing thank you. I was taken as a child from the UK to see these paintings and sculptures and have since spent the rest of my life in the world of art.. Well done for noticing the Hebrew translation. Actually,. "keren" means horn and ray(of light). depending on the context.
Thanks for this insightful introduction to the genius of Michelangelo. I am from Rome and I have seen his masterpieces multiple times. My favorite of them all is the Sistine chapel, every time i visit it, even with all the crowd of tourists, it is a magical experience. The sheer power of the images and figures he was able to conceive is still there. Yes, I would say that his masterpieces are not beautiful, they are powerful, unforgettable, unique. Another Italian artist that to me was able to bring power to his masterpieces is Caravaggio, another genius. I love them both.
Excellent, Informative and Interesting content for people who think, have questions, and need answers. Thanks very well presented. I'll be back for the follow up videos.
Manuel, your videos are wonderful. I enjoy each and every one and I learn more than I expect to learn. The videography is superb; the transitions are perfect. I look forward now to all of them to come.
Excellent presentation! Thank you Manual for your profound insight into the methods and techniques of the incomparable Renaissance sculpturist and painter Michelangelo Buonarroti. Deo gratias
Well researched, well presented with energy and passion. Thank you Manuel and much look forward to many hours of your great work into the future. Nick.
You did a wonderful job on this video. It was very informative. I've seen The Pieta in person. It's an extraordinary piece. Despite the room being at capacity, you could hear a pin drop.
Great summaries, thank you. I am a lifelong Michelangelo student, since seeing the Pieta up close at the NY World's Fair, (1960s) and seeing many more of his works throughout my life. Look for the spirals within and among his figures, usually 2 or more spirals. These make the figures move, make them active, even though they are stone or paint. His spirals are aspects of what the video states about the torqued bodies.
For myself, it would be hard to narrow down a favorite work of Michelangelo. He was amazing. I did not see my "favorite" David. Bernini's David. Not a critique, just the one that to me expresses the determination and resolve in that moment that made it seem "real". Thank you!!
Thank you very much!! I have been to the Sistine Chapel 2-times - long wait, lots of people and unfriendly staff in the cathedral. With your video I could now belatedly enjoy the Sistine Chapel in peace. I look forward to more videos 🙂
I read Irving Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy about 45 years ago and I've seen a dramatization or two about his life since then. His life was fascinating. Thanks for adding more texture and layers to my understanding of the artist and the man.
I was so lucky enough to have seen everything in this video in person before the pandemic!!! I could spend all day inside the Sistine chapel just admiring everything, but the guards will tell everyone to move on. Da Vinci and Michele Angelo never see eye to eye.... We can see who's a more productive Master. The Last Super was painted behind a monestery kitchen wall....
Another wonderful video! I’ve always been enthralled with Michelangelo’s works. I saw the Pieta at the New York Worlds Fair in 1966 - what an experience!
Love your video, thank you for producing this. One interpretation I've heard from other sources is that the David's proportions are exaggerated with the head and hands because the statue was expected to be on an elevated perch near the Duomo. At that height and angle the proportions would have looked more in alignment with natural proportions. At one point they even made a fiberglass mock up and put it on the perch where the David was intended to stand to confirm this hypothesis. So many ways to interpret art!
Dear Manuel ~ thank you for such a fascinating insight into this grand, amazing man and creator. All these works have given me such joy and reverence for life itself apart from the enormity of these masterpieces. Your presentation of the Sistine chapel is wonderful as when there, one is humbled by this great work and mostly conscious of one’s diminutive humanity in proportion to the scale of the space and masterpiece, apart from wanting to levitate closer to the ceiling to observe more detail. The pietá remains breathtaking and the symbolism you reveal equally so, but for me it is the David that exemplifies his genius. How Michelangelo could envision the negative removal of the marble to such refined detail, but then to capture the profound energy of that moment in time ~ giving the cold inanimate marble everlasting power, life and radiance. As you honour the unfinished works ~ among them the ‘prisoners’ who seem to especially accentuate freedom, are the works that I have loved the most.
The Pieta almost breathes. An amazing masterpiece.
To think about the anatomical and dress details of this grandiose work of art and then finding yourself, as I happened to be right directly in front of such a sculpture you realize the artistic greatness and the great genius of Michelangelo.
I’ve seen it and it’s surprisingly small.
@@ezeee595 still incredible.
You guys would love Bernini ,look him up
@@gesudinazaret9259 art historian here. Noting like the Pieta.
It’s so crazy to me, that free videos on UA-cam are better, more entertaining than anything you pay for!

I wept when I saw it in person.
@ so did I.
I had been reading about how it came to be so I think that had some influence.
I live in Italy and actually studying this stuff for school, you cleared up some things about michelangelos psychological state, thanks
Wonderful video, thank you. I'm studying Michelangelo now. The more I study his art, the more I realize I don't know. He was a true genius in craft and concept.
As Socrates said……the more I know, the more I know that I don't know !
Pieta is the best sculpture ever made.
I just used this for my homeschool. My eight and six year old thoroughly enjoyed and were able to follow this video. Thank you for helping us revel in this beautiful art!
The writing appearing on video while watching OBLITERATES the real picture. Thanks.

Italy has so much history. Every town and the main cities have so much to offer.
He is genious,master of his thoughts n his creation.His craft is unbeatable,amazing n matchless ,he is sculptures will never be superseded .

Just gorgeous work from Michelangelo. Also hearing you read that Latin bible translation was really cool. I’m glad they fixed that mistake!
I used to think Michelangelo is a turtle.
Love your video, thank you for producing this. One interpretation I've heard from other sources is that the David's proportions are exaggerated with the head and hands because the statue was expected to be on an elevated perch near the Duomo. At that height and angle the proportions would have looked more in alignment with natural proportions. At one point they even made a fiberglass mock up and put it on the perch where the David was intended to stand to confirm this hypothesis. So many ways to interpret art!
Sir Manuel, you are a genius too, thank you for your videos ❤❤
Excellent video Manuel. You are so clear and knowledgeable ! 🌺
Your evaluative analysis of the art is magnificent. Describing Mannerism educated me.
Wonderful wonderful exclamation I got to know him better than I ever did. Thank you. Good job.
Dear Manuel ~ thank you for such a fascinating insight into this grand, amazing man and creator.
All these works have given me such joy and reverence for life itself apart from the enormity of these masterpieces.
Your presentation of the Sistine chapel is wonderful as when there, one is humbled by this great work and mostly conscious of one’s diminutive humanity in proportion to the scale of the space and masterpiece, apart from wanting to levitate closer to the ceiling to observe more detail.
The pietá remains breathtaking and the symbolism you reveal equally so, but for me it is the David that exemplifies his genius. How Michelangelo could envision the negative removal of the marble to such refined detail, but then to capture the profound energy of that moment in time ~ giving the cold inanimate marble everlasting power, life and radiance.
As you honour the unfinished works ~ among them the ‘prisoners’ who seem to especially accentuate freedom, are the works that I have loved the most.
Extraordinarily informative and beautifully explained, my eternal thanks for your channel Manuel ❤️
