Saturday, February 18th from 3 – 4pm enjoy Art Stars of the Italian Renaissance at NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale. Join celebrated art historian Dr. Rocky Ruggiero as he explores with guests all the ‘Art Stars of the Italian Renaissance’ in this exciting art lecture at the museum. RSVP HERE.

How did Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Raphael, and Caravaggio win fame and commissions during their lifetime? What role did the Renaissance biographer Georgio Vasari play in perpetuating their posthumous reputations? Why is the Mona Lisa so famous? What role did modern biographical novels and biopic films such as The Agony and the Ecstasy (by Irving Stone, 1961) play in making these artists household names? Has effusive reproductions of these works in books, posters and on the internet increased their appeal while overshadowing their artistry? Dr. Ruggiero will address these topics and more.

This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Picturing Fame: From Toulouse-Lautrec to Today.
