While the Renaissance began in Florence around the year 1400, it did not begin in Venice and Rome until around 1500. But once it did, these two cities rapidly sought to surpass Florence as cultural capitals. While the popes sought to lure Italy’s most celebrated artists, such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, and Bramante, to Rome, Venice developed its own national arsenal of celebrated in-house Renaissance artists, such as Titian, Bellini, Tintoretto, and Veronese. Join Dr. Rocky for this webinar as he explores and the art and architecture of the three Renaissance capitals.
