The Life and Work of Michelangelo (1983) - CED - Full Documentary 

In more recent biographies it's said that the young man who apprenticed under Michelangelo was actually who the poetry was written for -- his homosexuality was not accepted until recently.

I look forward to watching this. Nice surprise finding it here by chance. I never tire of programs about Michelangelo, my interest in him spurred originally by the great movie "The Agony & the Ecstasy". It came to theaters in '65, I believe, though I didn't see it until many years later on TV. After seeing it for the 1st time, I read the novel upon which it's based by Irving Stone, which was superb. After only a quick peek at this selection, I thought maybe it was from a network TV airing in the 60's, perhaps, as the 3 U.S. networks aired serious, high-quality history & cultural programs on a regular basis in that era, a trend abandoned now for many decades. Alexander Scourby narrated ALOT of docs back in the 50's & 60's, so I thought this was from the 60's, most likely, especially since it's in color, again from a network TV airing but I can see that I'm wrong. I'm still surprised, though, because by 1983 multiculturalism & political correctness was setting-in & beginning to permeate society-at-large. Shows like this one were disappearing fast. Excellent, serious, & thoughtful programs & series like Kenneth Clark's "Civilisation" & Alistair Cooke's "America" were commonly seen on U.S. TV networks, as well as PBS. Other such series included "Triumph of the West", "The Christians", Michael Wood's "Art of the Western World" & "In Search of Shakespeare", the list goes on & on. All long-vanished now. The wonders & greatness of Western Civilization are never mentioned or presented anymore, as its under assault & attack, with the cultural-controllers of our era criticizing, when referred to at all, & dismissing it. All I can say is, thank goodness for Lucy Worsley & the BBC, though the latter's changing, too, I've noticed.

Every time I look at the work of Michelangelo I get inspired !

Great montage !!!!! Bravo !!

An eye opening Documentary 👍

Awesome video....Thanks Toyco :)

Alexander Scourby ,the perfect voice to tell the story.

Great resource. It would be useful a division into sections.

I miss the smoker's voice so prevelant at that time. Filthy habit, but great for reporting and narration.

I think it's sad how somber Mary is in all the carvings .

The Narrator For Michelangelo Documentary Is The Same Voice For His Voice Of luke In The Jesus Film (1979)

Good work

Interesting for the historical context, but I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of his work as brilliant as it undoubtedly is.

The screechy singing is a bit much.

My source says 1475.

Why so disgusting music in the beginning?
