Andrea deI Verrocchio (c. 1435 - 1488) was one of the great artists of the ltaIian Renaissance. His works in bronze and marbIe rivaI ancient scuIptures in their naturaIism, expressiveness, and sophisticated design. As a true "Renaissance man," he was also 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 GIenn Close, tells the story of Verrocchio's career as a favored sculptor of the Medici, the most powerful family of Renaissance FIorence, and expIores his collaborations with Leonardo. lt includes new footage of the originaI settings for his works — the beautifuI churches, palaces, and pubIic spaces of FIorence, Pistoia, and Venice. |
