An NCPA -Seventh Art Productions (UK) Presentation

The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? His genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of ‘David’, the moving ‘Pietà’ in St. Peter’s Basilica and his tour de force, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, still leave us breathless today.

Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo: Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe, through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of Michelangelo’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and the artist’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master whose life and work are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025, it commemorates his 550th birth anniversary.

Sculptor, painter, architect, poet, genius—discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.
