Скачать или смотреть ROCKY'S ITALY: Siena - Michelangelo & the Piccolomini Altarpiece

The Piccolomini Altarpiece is a sculptural and architectural altarpiece located in Siena Cathedral. It was built in the 1480s by Andrea Bregno for Cardinal Francesco Piccolomini Todeschini, who later became Pope Pius III. In 1501, Michelangelo was contracted to produce a series of statuettes for the altarpiece but was interrupted when he received the contract to carve “The David.” Only 4 statues were delivered by Michelangelo, and only two are thought to have been carved by him!
