This short, a prologue to the feature film The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965), focuses on Michelangelo’s life and his many famous frescoes and sculptures. After a short visit to Caprese, where the artist was born, and the town where he first studied his craft, we see many of his most important works. They include the Madonna of the Stairs, completed at age 15; the statues of the Medici Tombs; and his two most famous Biblical figures: David and Moses.
