Michelangelo Drawings
Saturday 25 March 2006 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)
Michelangelo Buonarroti was a defining genius of the Renaissance. On the opening weekend of the British Museum's new exhibition, Michelangelo Drawings, Catherine Bott talks to curator Hugo Chapman about the beginnings of the 60 stormy years of Michelangelo's life that are represented by his works in the exhibition.
They look at the music that would have surrounded Michelangelo in late 15th and early 16th-century Italy.
