Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence 1504

The Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, Florence, 1504 exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts immerses visitors in the vibrant cultural atmosphere of Renaissance Florence. The exhibition highlights the fierce rivalry and creative genius of three iconic artists—Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael—during a pivotal period of artistic development. Featuring masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Taddei Tondo and sketches for the Palazzo Vecchio murals, this exhibition offers a unique insight into the creative processes that defined the Renaissance.

The lighting design was meticulously crafted to enhance the emotional depth of the works and bring out the dramatic contrasts between the artists' bold visions. Soft, focused illumination was used to accentuate the intricate details of sketches and sculptures, while deeper shadows helped create an atmosphere of tension and competition. The lighting subtly conveyed the artists' rivalry and their relentless pursuit of artistic perfection, guiding visitors through this fascinating chapter of art history.

In collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts, this exhibition serves as a testament to the lasting impact of Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael on the trajectory of Western art.
