The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Michelangelo & Sebastiano
15 March - 25 June 2017
#MichelangeloSebastiano
Explore the extraordinary relationship between two great Italian masters, Michelangelo and Sebastiano del Piombo, who found common ground in the fiercely competitive world of High Renaissance Rome.
Having met in Rome in 1511, as Michelangelo was finishing his decoration of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Sebastiano and he became friends and began collaborating artistically.
Their meeting sparked a remarkable 25-year friendship and partnership; yielding outstanding works of art that neither could have created without the other - against a backdrop of war and religious conflict, but also of great intellectual energy and artistic innovation.
Central to the exhibition are two of their collaborations: the 'Pietà' for S. Francesco in Viterbo (c.1512-16) and The Raising of Lazarus, painted for the Cathedral of Narbonne in France, and one of the foundational works in the National Gallery Collection.
The exhibition also features the exceptional loan of Michelangelo’s 'The Risen Christ' (1514-15) from the Church of S. Vincenzo Martire in Bassano Romano, Italy, and a cutting-edge recreation of the Borgherini Chapel in S. Pietro in Montorio, Rome - decorated by Sebastiano to partial designs by Michelangelo.
Comprising paintings, drawings, sculpture, and letters documenting correspondence between the artists, this groundbreaking exhibition presents works of striking force and originality.

Thank you so much Mr Wivel for revealing the exhibition, including an artist I did not know (Sebastiano). I cannot afford to go to these exhibitions and the crowds and the fact you have to stand up the whole time would be very stressful to me, this is a fantastic opportunity to discover more, thank you thank you!

This was a most enjoyable lecture. It is good to hear someone who understands fuly the Christian background of the works of art, and the impact that they must have had on the sensibilities of the viewers.

It would be a great pleasure and privilege to hear Matthias Wivel lecture on the Sistine Ceiling. I can only imagine what he would bring to it with his passion for details and overall unity of emphasis. Or maybe a survey of specific panels (or even individual figures) regarding details of their locations in situ, and what Mr. Wivel surmises of Michelangelo's intended emphasis and references.

I really enjoyed! Very interesting. I always loved "The Death of Adonis" by del Piombo in the Uffizi in Florence, but now I understand more about his style.
