Michelangelo Buonarroti. The "Crouching Youth" from the State Hermitage Museum and the Medici Chapel in Florence

The exhibition is a result of the mutual work of the State Hermitage Museum and the Casa Buonarroti Museum (Florence) that went on for a number of years with participation of the British Museum (London) and the Uffizi Gallery (Florence) and with support of the Administrations of Massa and Carrara provinces (Italy). It features sculptural and graphic works of the great Italian artist of the Renaissance Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564) that are somehow connected with the Medici Chapel in Florence. The semantic centre of the exhibition is the sculpture "Crouching Youth" cut by Michelangelo in c.1530 - 1534. The catalogue of the exhibition is edited by Doctor of Arts Sergei Androsov and researcher of creative activities of Michelangelo Professor Umberto Baldini (Italy).
