Description: Observes in Part I that the extraordinary talent of da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael elevated the status of the artist in Italian society. Examines da Vinci's scientific drawings and Virgin and Child with St. Anne and the Infant St. John, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes and David, and Raphael's Vatican frescoes. Recounts in Part II how the Venetians readapted the classical style and contrasts Titian's sensuous nudes with Tintoretto's The Last Supper, which combines brilliant brushwork with religious fervor. Discusses the preservation of the spirit of classicism as seen in Palladio's architecture. Closed Captioned.
