The narrative cross referencing to explain Michelangelo's mindset is brilliant. Proof positive that history doesn't automatically or necessarily need to repeat itself in it's worst aspects. More people need to immerse themselves. Love how old art historians mimic the lives of those fine artists who worked until their death.
Michelangelo is so damn popular because his work is in the Vatican; go to Staglieno cemetery in Genoa and see that he was really just an average sculptor. Plenty in Italy were his equal and many were better.
Scully was only 32 when I took his History of Art course. Unforgettable! Thanks for uploading this superb video reminder..
Congratulations on surviving so long, Richard Chasin.
