Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel at 33 years old. Raphael painted the Stanze di Raffaello when he was in his twenties. Where has this love for art gone?   In this special episode of Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words, Hanson sits down with American classical figurative sculptor Sabin Howard to discuss the rise of modern art and Howard’s personal mission to commemorate American history through his bronze sculptures. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA MovementThe Daily Signal, the proud producers of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” has a special limited time offer:  With a monthly donation $28, you’ll become BOTH a Signal Elite Supporter AND receive a copy of “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement”Click here to order: https://secured.dailysignal.com/support-daily-signal-today/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=signalelite&utm_content=260820-vdh-book-youtube The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: Visit https://historicsites.heritage.org/ to start your adventure today.
