Michelangelo

In the debut season of Renaissance Masters, we step into the chisel-scarred world of Michelangelo Buonarroti, the fiery genius whose hands carved stone into legend and painted the heavens with divine ambition. Across five immersive episodes, we trace his early rise in Florence, his masterful Pietà in Rome, and the monumental creation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Along the way, we uncover his rivalries with fellow titans Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, and explore the intricate web of loyalty and tension that defined his lifelong connection to the Medici family. This season paints a vivid portrait of a brilliant, tormented artist whose legacy reshaped the Renaissance—and the meaning of greatness itself.
