In this series of ten lectures, Dr. Reshma Nayyar focuses on Masterpieces of sculpture and painting from the Renaissance. Beginning with a selection of relief panels from the “Gates of Paradise” , a set of magnificent bronze doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti, the series covers a variety of art work in media ranging from bronze and marble sculpture to tempera and oil painting, such as Botticelli’s enigmatic Primavera, Michelangelo’s exquisite Pieta’ and Raphael’s extraordinary Disputation over the Holy Sacrament.
