"The Virtù of the young Michelangelo's drawings: Problems of Chronology" by Carmen Bambach, Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Andrew W. Mellon Professor, 2010--2012, Center for Advanced Study in the
Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art

Join international scholars to explore the pivotal decade of the 1490s in Florence and the formation and evolution of the young Michelangelo. Prompted by the recent loan by the French Republic to the Metropolitan Museum of the fragmentary marble statue Young Archer that many scholars attribute to Michelangelo, this symposium will provide occasion to reflect on the sculpture and the confluence of dramatic forces that shaped Renaissance Florence.

This program is made possible by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
