Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael review – bitchy Da Vinci conquers the army of gnarly nudes
Art is a serious subject,” say posters put up by the Royal Academy in London to champion art in schools. But is the Royal Academy itself serious? Its main galleries are now full of vacant paintings by Michael Craig-Martin, RA, while three of the greatest artists who ever lived are crammed into a couple of rooms round the back.
Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence, c 1504 is based on the rivalrous encounter between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo when both were commissioned to paint battle scenes by the Florentine republic. First, Leonardo was tasked to paint a mural of The Battle of Anghiari, in which Florence had defeated Milanese mercenaries. As Leonardo planned it, Michelangelo was commissioned to paint another battle on the same wall.
Michael Craig-Martin’s self-titled exhibition opened at the Royal Academy of Arts on September 21st and is open until December 10th.
The exhibition itself is Craig-Martin’s most comprehensive to date in the UK, comprising of his early conceptual student works in the 1960s, to his most well-known compositions, many of which consist of everyday items which have been painted in bright, eye-catching colours and thick, dark outlines.
Artwork created by two Witchford school children is set to feature in the prestigious Royal Academy Young Artists’ Summer Show in London.
Winston Arnold and Wren Senior from The Rackham Primary School were selected out of more than 21,500 students aged 4-19 across the UK.
Now in its sixth year, the Royal Academy’s Young Artists’ Summer Show is a free, open submission exhibition for pupils studying in the UK.
