Michelangelo

This volume presents the entire spectrum of Michelangelos work and illuminates all its facets. Yet attention does not focus solely on the great renaissance artist, but also on Michelangelo, the person, who is subject to, in the turbulent political and religious periods of the 15th and 16th centuries the interests and attitudes of both secular and ecclesiastical rulers, as well as the machinations of scheming fellow artists.

It is all the more to the credit of this immense artistic talent, that, despite these difficult circumstances, Michelangelo created sculptures, frescoes, buildings, and also poetry that are outstanding in their brilliance to this day.
