Michelangelo exhibit touches down in Rome

A Michelangelo exhibition opened in Rome on Tuesday, highlighting the Renaissance master as a “universal artist” who brought his own brand of mysticism to a variety of art forms.

The show starts off with “Madonna of the Steps” — a relief sculpture made by Michelangelo at the age of 15.

It brings together 150 works — busts, sketches, statues and oil paintings — by Michelangelo and his contemporaries.

Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Arezzo in central Italy in 1475 and learnt his craft as a painter and sculptor in Florence.
