Your voice, pace, content and cinematography are all excellent; better than many professional productions I've seen! Also glad to see we share a high level of admiration for Michelangelo and I hope you keep making documentaries :)
I JUST VISITED FIRENZE AND THE MEDICI CHAPEL IS AMAZING. ASTONISHING!!! IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT THE PALAZZO PITTI LET ME KNOW. CONGRATS FOR YOUR WORK!
I find the muscles he sculpted in the bodies fascinating. How they suggest the ligaments ad bones beneath is a mind boggling achievement. He had so many talents to share with the world. I MARVEL AT HIS GIFT
I've always wondered about this type of sarcophagus tomb, is the corpse literally contained in the actual sarcophagus, or is the sarcophagus only an above-ground dummy decoration?
Good presentation. When you visit you realise that this where architecture and sculpture merge, as you are standing inside the work. The individual pieces have not been placed randomly, they interact. They have sight lines - they look at each other. This is real 3D.
All the old sculptural masters used wax models, taken from casts of their subjects bodies, the models then used as a template to guide mechanical drills, making the marble copy. All classical portrait art was painted from light box camera projection.
What an interesting video! I especially love the way these sculptures aren't quite anatomically correct in order to seem even more divine. Just look at Giuliano de Medici's neck, or Day's massive shoulders or Night's mishapen breasts. Fascinating!
Bernini surpasses Michaelangelo. And please remember that all of these sculptures are machine drilled marble from and arm bouncing off a wax model, allowing the sculptor to up the scale of the finished product, but repositioning the fulcrum of the mechanical arm holding the drill.

Wow! I loved your video. You are certainly very knowledgeable and showcase Michelangelo's works perfectly! I learned a lot!
This was incredible!! Amazing work on this video. I am going to visit the Medici Chapel next week, this was a great preparation for that :)
Thanks very helpful
I'll go to this chapel tomorrow so thanks for the preview!
This was truly amazing in person. It’s surreal

Throughly enjoyed this! What’s next for Roscoe’s Tours?
A video that looks to unpick why the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. Coming out in 2 weeks time, stay tuned..... ;)

thanks
You are correct. Michelangelo is the greatest artist working with stone and marble that ever lived.

toastchild that is an example of michelangelo meddling with mannerism
Molto interessante.
This is wonderful! See you, Nika. Your second Student...
Michelangelo lived in a de Medici palace while he studied and practiced his art.
Bernini surpasses Michaelangelo. And please remember that all of these sculptures are machine drilled marble from and arm bouncing off a wax model, allowing the sculptor to up the scale of the finished product, but repositioning the fulcrum of the mechanical arm holding the drill.
