Beginning with Cimabue and Giotto in the thirteenth century, this work traces the development of Italian art across three centuries to the golden epoch of Leonardo and Michelangelo. It presents great men, and their immortal works. It depicts Michelangelo’s painstaking work on the Sistine Chapel, harassed by the impatient Pope Julius II.
