FREE WEBINAR | “Superstar Artists of the Italian Renaissance”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

How did Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Raphael, and Caravaggio win fame and commissions during their lifetime? What role did the Renaissance biographer Giorgio Vasari play in perpetuating their posthumous reputations? Why is the Mona Lisa so famous? What role did modern biographical novels and biopic films such as The Agony and the Ecstasy (by Irving Stone, 1961) play in making these artists household names? Has effusive reproductions of these works in books, posters and on the internet increased their appeal while overshadowing their artistry? Join Dr. Rocky for this free webinar where he will address these topics and more.

The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.
