With its traditional curriculum, the Angel Academy has resurrected the knowledge of art's golden age, the Renaissance; the programme teaches techniques begun in the early 1500s and developed over the ensuing 300 years. It is the system that created the masters. Its adherents include Leonardo, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Velasquez, Rembrandt, Leighton, Bouguereau and, more recently, Annigoni. Academy Director and Founder Michael John Angel has researched this traditional system for the past thirty years. "Those who do not learn from the masters waste their lives, re-inventing the wheel.  Priceless knowledge has been sacrificed in the 20th century," he says. "Starting from nothing you can go nowhere, but, stand on the shoulders of giants, and you possess the tools and vision to travel far."   4-step Demonstration of Caravaggio's Technique       Via Fiesolana 34r, 50122 Firenze (Italy)  Phone/fax +39 055 2466737 email: info.angel@angelartschool.com   Home   Curriculum   The Programme   MJAngel   Faculty   Secrets   Craftsmanship   Prospectus   Art Business   Student Gallery   Workshops   Info/Enrolment Form © 1999-2005 Angel Academy of Art, Florence
