Italian Masters at the Head of the Class: Michelangelo and Mattia Preti
Lecture by John T. Spike
In this illustrated presentation, art historian and author, John T. Spike, will speak about two landmark exhibitions that have received national publicity for their fascinating counterpoint as supreme examples of Renaissance wisdom versus Baroque bravura. In observance of the 2013 Year of Italian Culture, the Muscarelle Museum of Art at William & Mary opened two major exhibitions: Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane, and A Brush with Passion: Mattia Preti (1613-1699).
With vivid images of the artworks, Dr. Spike will give us an expert's view of this heavyweight competition between Michelangelo, the all-time champion of disegno, and Preti, the courageous contender for colore.
