About the program
Introducing his new book, William tells the compelling story of a forty-year rivalry between the two most celebrated artists of their time: Michelangelo and Titian. While Michelangelo served popes in Rome, Titian immortalized the rulers of their time from Venice. Learn more about the entwined lives of these two master artists, how they inspired one another, and their lifelong competitive relationship.
