Andrea deI Verrocchio (c. 1435 - 1488) was one of the great artists of the ltalian Renaissance. His works in bronze and marbIe rivaI ancient sculptures in their naturaIism, expressiveness, and sophisticated design. As a true "Renaissance man," he was aIso a gifted painter and draftsman whose innovations deepIy infIuenced the young artists of his busy workshop, including his prize pupil, Leonardo da Vinci. This fiIm, narrated by Glenn CIose, teIIs the story of Verrocchio's career as a favored scuIptor of the Medici, the most powerfuI famiIy of Renaissance Florence, and expIores his coIIaborations with Leonardo. It includes new footage of the originaI settings for his works — the beautifuI churches, palaces, and public spaces of Florence, Pistoia, and Venice. |
