We conclude Week 3 by examining the bustling workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio, the polymathic maestro whose studio served as the definitive training ground for the High Renaissance. We will explore Verrocchio’s own extraordinary versatility, from the nervous energy of his bronze David to the monumental equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni, illustrating his command over motion and anatomy. However, particular focus will be placed on his role as an educator and collaborator; by analysing works like The Baptism of Christ—where the hand of his young apprentice, Leonardo da Vinci, is famously visible—we will understand how Verrocchio’s emphasis on technical rigour, observation, and multi-media experimentation incubated the talents of the next generation’s titans. This lecture identifies his workshop not just as a place of business, but as the crucible where the 15th century transitioned into the 16th.
