Less amusing is the sense that the makers of “Renaissance” seem to think they’re revealing all this history to a viewership emerging from its own Dark Ages. But even Renaissance scholars will be entertained by this PBS-by-way-of-BBC presentation. .... “Renaissance” is really the Michelangelo story, with the usually marvelous Charles Dance appearing intermittently.

What Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty does for all three, though, is make you long to know more. About all of them, about all of art, about how we are able to create beauty out of bloodshed and when we might start doing so again.

Charles Dance, with white Catweazle hair, made a bewitching elderly Michelangelo in Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty (BBC2), addressing his monologues to camera with wild blue eyes. The non-speaking actor bits, though, added little to the party. .... The second episode focuses more directly on the art, with excellent talking heads, from Antony Gormley to David LaChappelle.
