The Renaissance in Italy produced many great painters, sculptors, and architects, but if one had to choose one man as the expression of its final achievement, the choice would almost certainly fall on the Florentine artist about whom Dr. Tancred Borenius will talk. The sculptor of the great 'David' in Florence, the wonderful reeling 'Bacchus,' the Medici tombs and the captives for the tomb of Pope Julius II; the painter of the Sixtine Chapel and the unfinished 'Entombment of Christ' in the National Gallery in London; and the architect of the dome of St. Peter's in Rome, Michael Angelo, was a Titanic figure in three forms of art, and his long life (1475 to 1564) is in itself a vital chapter in the history of the Renaissance. Dr. Tancred Borenius. who is Professor of the History of Art at University College, London, is probably the greatest living authority on Italian art.
