Presented by Charlie Hall

This special interest event will look at three giants of the Italian Renaissance who were involved in fierce competition with each other: Leonardo, the master, Michelangelo, the brooding upstart genius, and Raphael, the artist who carefully crafted a stellar career in the shadows, to emerge as a bright light that was tragically extinguished by an early death just as he began to be recognised in his own right.

‘Everything that Raphael had, he took from me’, is what Michelangelo remarked as Pope Julius II pitted them against each other in the Vatican.
