Marking the 550th anniversary of Michelangelo’s birth, Professor Michael Fitzgerald offers a fresh perspective on the artist, not just as a Renaissance Master, but as a profoundly complex and possibly neurodivergent individual.
Renowned for ‘David’ and the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Michelangelo also showed traits such as obsessive focus, emotional intensity, and social withdrawal, leading some scholars to suggest links to autism or OCD.
Blending art history with psychological insight, this talk invites us to consider how Michelangelo’s inner world may have fuelled his creative brilliance and enduring legacy.
