Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

With the deaths of Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael in 1519 and 1520 respectively, Michelangelo soon became the predominate artist of 16th-century Europe. Yet, there were many talented young artists in Italy who were trying to make a name for themselves. Andrea del Sarto, Jacopo Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino, Giulio Romano, Parmigianino, Bronzino and Giambologna are but a few of the artists who were trying to come out from under the shadow of Michelangelo. Join Dr. Rocky for this webinar where he will explore the art of those lesser known, but extraordinarily talented contemporaries of Michelangelo.
