In true stories as vivid as the colors in which they painted, Jim Weiss brings to life the astounding Leonardo da Vinci; the volcanic genius Michelangelo;
Brunelleschi, who changed the way we see the world; the lighthearted sculptor, Donatello; and other captivating characters. You will watch fierce Pope Julius
II drive out invaders while supervising the painting of the Sistine Chapel, and dine in the palace of Lorenzo de Medici, swordsman, statesman and patron of the
arts, as he faces treachery and turns war to peace. The Masters of the Renaissance CD will inspire a lifelong fascination with the arts—and with the riches and high aspirations of the Renaissance. |
