World Premiere #75: an Exquisite Rivalry
Michelangelo vs. Leonardo da Vinci
Florence in 1504, the height of the Italian Renaissance, the two greatest artists of the era: Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti–one the recognized master of science and painting, the other a young wizard with stone, having just completed the statue of David to wild acclaim. Each assigned to paint a magnificent battle scene on one of two opposing walls in the Great Hall of the Republic. And the people of Florence will decide which is the best: the aging master or the arrogant upstart? The winner set to be known as the greatest artist of the day. But has Michelangelo ever even painted anything before? And who would arrange such a devious competition? Niccolo Machiavelli, of course. What was he thinking?
