What do the Vatican and the Queen have in common? Extensive art collections, in fact more specifically, expensive, extensive art collections comprising of some of the most spellbinding pieces in the history of Western art. Head to the Courtauld Gallery this coming Saturday to admire some of the most exquisitely beautiful drawings by the high Renaissance master, Michelangelo, a number of which are specially on loan from the Vatican and Royal collections.

Quintessentially Art are hosting a comprehensive talk to celebrate the groundbreaking exhibition, centred on the pinnacle of the artist’s career, when he produced his most emotive and romantic works expressing his love and desire for a young Roman, Tommaso de Cavalieri.

Using certain pieces in the Courtauld’s permanent collection that share themes of mythological romanticism and Renaissance symbolism, the critical importance Michelangelo played in the development of the Renaissance and how he influenced his contemporaries will be underlined too.

Stephanie Buck the show’s curator has commented, “With these drawings you can’t reach higher,” amd it sounds like a must-visit to me.

For more information on the talk scheduled for this coming Saturday 27th please contact art@quintessentially.com or call +44 (0) 207 2925110.
