Exclusively for Gari Melchers Collectors Society members, this special gallery talk offers a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition alongside one of the foremost scholars of Renaissance art. Dr. Radke will share insights into Michelangelo’s depictions of women, the cultural and artistic forces that shaped them, and the stories behind the works on view.
