Ster-Kinekor: Great Moments at their Greatest’s series of Exhibition on Screen movies has given audiences the chance to view some of the world’s greatest art exhibitions on the big screen. The final art documentary of Season Four hopes to give the audience the feeling that they are ‘in the movie’.
This intriguing documentary releases at Nouveau cinemas in Rosebank Nouveau in Johannesburg, Brooklyn Nouveau in Pretoria, Ster-Kinekor Gateway Nouveau in Durban and at V&A Nouveau in Cape Town on Saturday, 17 June.
The film takes you on a journey through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican, to the print and drawing rooms of Europe, to explore Michelangelo’s tempestuous life.
The production documents painter, architect, poet and sculptor Michelangelo, and explores his life and work. He was known as the original, famous artist of his time, having two biographies written about him during his life, biographies on which he worked closely with the respective authors. The documentary delves into the man behind the monumental pieces of art that defined him as the genius of the Italian Renaissance.
This film offers a full and fresh biography of Michelangelo who, is considered one of the greatest artists of the renaissance – and perhaps of all time.
Michelangelo: Love and Death explores his relationship with his contemporaries and his immense artistic practice. Among the works explored are the universally adored David in Florence, the frescoes of Sistine Chapel in Rome and the Manchester Madonna.
This film goes to the heart of just who this passionate, giant of art history and much loved genius was. While we know his great work, who was the man that sculpted the universally adored, David, capturing the intricacy of his pulsating veins, sinew and muscle of the human body that would make Michelangelo known as the greatest sculptor of all time?
