Join TAST for its next talk on the three giants of the Italian Renaissance who were in fierce competition with each other. Leonardo, the master, Michelangelo the brooding upstart genius and Raphael, the artist who carefully crafted his stellar career in the shadows, to emerge as a bright light tragically extinguished by an early death just as he became recognised as an artist in his own right.

CHARLIE HALL is a passionate arts educator, lecturer and guide based in London and Italy. Listen to his revelations on these rivalries on Thursday April 10 at the Courtenay Centre, Newton Abbot at 10.30am.

Guests welcome at the centre or on zoom. Tickets are £10. Contact: Kate at: [email protected]
