High Renaissance

The part of the video about Michaelangleo's Rondanini Pieta was particularly moving to me. Some people believe that art, whether sculpture, painting , music or any other type, is the last remnant of materialistic hold on a person's spirit. In other words, once you work through your passion for art there is nothing left but God. Michaelangelo seemed to be at this point. He seemed to be letting go of art despite the fact that he was one of art's greatest master's.
