Michelangelo and the Spirituali

I just caught a great program on PBS about Michelangelo's tomb for Pope Julius II which includes his iconic statue of Moses. Very interesting, catch it if you can. I learned a lot not only about Michelangelo but about the 16th century reform movement in the Catholic Church and the Inquisition.

Michelangelo's Moses

Someone else took the time to blog about it here.

I just saw it on the PBS Dish Network feed this evening. Great Show! I'd have missed it had it not been for your post. Thanks for the heads up!
