Beyond David the creation process the spiritual research

Beyond David the creation process the spiritual research

After the meeting point in the "Christian Book" shop (in front of the museum entrance) we will enter the Academy. The first part of the visit includes an "excursus" on Michelangelo's life from birth to his death: it is a necessary background to understand the stylistic reasons behind his art. Finally we contemplate at a distance the "giant" symbol of Florence and the Renaissance and we will discover what hides behind Michelangelo's work: why David was so important at that time and why it is so important in art history as to be considered one of the symbols of western thought? So it will be an opportunity to see how Michelangelo exceeds the perfection of David with his "Prigioni" (prisons): these statues express a different style and tension (to say the contrary) compared to the David that is the pinnacle of his youthful journey: the so-called "unfinished way", an artistic reason with profound philosophical roots will accompany the artist's maturity until his death.
