English | Documentary | Size: 1.43 GB
The greatest artworks in western civilization emerged from one of the bloodiest periods in history. This series explores the lives of three of the greatest artists in history – Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael – as they craft beauty from chaos.
How did Western civilisation’s most beautiful works of art emerge from one of the most brutal periods in history? The Renaissance was a time of extreme turbulence, betrayal, bloodshed and political upheaval. Yet it was also a time of unparalleled creativity.
This drama-documentary takes as its guide perhaps the greatest artist of the era, Michelangelo. It reveals how he navigated the violent reality of the times, and how his life intersected with two other geniuses of the period – Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. Blending expert interviews, dramatic reconstructions and immersion in wondrous works of art, this is a vivid journey into the highest of human achievements – and the lowest depths of treachery and turmoil.
With contributions from contemporary artists such as Antony Gormley, Alison Lapper, and David LaChapelle, as well as historians and biographers, this thrilling three-part series RENAISSANCE: THE BLOOD AND THE BEAUTY explores the lives of three rival artists who produced seductively beautiful works of art in the midst of violence, brutal political power struggles, warfare, and religious upheaval.
Framed through the eyes of an aging Michelangelo, whose long life spanned this extraordinary period, the series traces more than sixty years, beginning with the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478 and concluding with the unveiling of The Last Judgement in 1541.
Through stunning visuals, compelling storytelling, and historical insight, the series reveals how these artists battled for favor, risked everything in service of their patrons, and reshaped the world’s understanding of art and the artist.
RENAISSANCE: THE BLOOD AND THE BEAUTY is narrated by Sophie Okonedo, the series features Charles Dance as Michelangelo, Jonny Glynn as Leonardo Da Vinci and Joshua Duffy as Raphael.

Episode 2: Rivalry
Leonardo and Michelangelo return to Florence, both riding high and both determined to become the greatest artist the city has ever produced. It is 1501, and the people of Florence have turned on the radical priest Savonarola, burning him and declaring Florence a republic. For Michelangelo, it represents a new beginning, where art might once again flourish, and he is keen to offer his services to the newly reborn city. But Leonardo’s reputation in Milan precedes him, and the two men will vie to secure the best commissions in Florence.
Meanwhile, a third contender emerges: Raphael Santi, a young prodigy from Urbino, who has arrived in Florence to learn all he can from the two master artists. But it isn’t long before he starts to win work, taking commissions from the two older men. Michelangelo, in particular, sees Raphael as a direct threat and angrily criticises him as a plagiarist. The artistic rivalry in Florence is set to become even more intense.
