Michelangelo’s sculptures Moses and Lorenzo de’Medici belong to the library in replicas. Join  Amy Golahny for the first in this two-part series on the library’s permanent collection of art. The discussion will place these pieces in their original context, and demonstrate Michelangelo’s powerful influence on younger sculptors in Florence such as Giambologna and his Mercury.
