His works include such cultural icons as The Last Judgement, the Pieta, the David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Michael Rogers will provide an overview of the man and his many accomplishments. Join us at Foothill Center on Feb. 17th to hear (and see) the myriad of Michelangelo's sublime accomplishments. All are welcomed. Light refreshments will be served. The lecture begins at 7:00, but come early because seating is limited.
