Verrocchio: Sculptor and Painter of Renaissance Florence

Andrea del Verrocchio (c. 1435-1488) gained fame as a sculptor whose masterpieces in bronze rival ancient sculpture in their naturalism and expressiveness. A favorite of the Medici, the de facto rulers of Florence, Verrocchio was also a celebrated painter and draftsman whose workshop became a training ground for the preeminent painters of the High Renaissance, including his apprentice and pupil, Leonardo da Vinci. Narrated by Academy Award nominee Glenn Close, the film includes new footage of the original settings of the artist’s works in Florence, Pistoia, and Venice.

Love this! I had a wonderful professor who taught a class in renaissance art and architecture, I'd love to take that class again... I guess I'll just have to reread my notes! Anyway, I was surprised by Glenn Close as narrator but she really did do justice to these magnificent works and their history! Thank you for the upload!

Verrocchio's treatment of drapery and indeed his approach
to figure rendition is in direct descent from what was called
"Gothic" sculpture, now more properly referred to as Northern Renaissance,
and the break that was assumed to be the Italian renaissance,
is now less sharp than previously thought

Y aura-t-il une version en français?

[@Eri-ch4xf]

Je ne parle pas anglais non plus mais c'est assez facile à comprendre.
C'est l'occasion de s'entraîner. Il y a tant de beaux reportages en anglais (ou en italien).

Very good and wonderful art. But the intrusive music? What a pain - so distracting. And downright rude the way it outweighs Glenn Close's narration.
