Civilisation - The Hero as Artist

Kenneth Clark continues his personal reflections on civilisation with a look at Papal Rome in the early 16th century. Three great artists, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci are the chief protagonists in this programme. Clark's 'Individuals of Genius' theme takes him through the gardens and courtyards of the Vatican to the rooms decorated for the Pope by Raphael, and to the Sistine Chapel.
