Description

Il divino Meet the Renaissance master Before reaching the tender age of 30, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted Pieta and David, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. As a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect, the achievements of this Italian master are unique-no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multifaceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. This fresh TASCHEN edition traces Michelangelo's ascent to the cultural elite of the Renaissance. Ten richly illustrated chapters cover the artist's paintings, sculptures, buildings, and drawings, including a close analysis of the artist's tour de force frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Full-page reproductions and enlarged details allow readers to appreciate the finest details in the artist's repertoire, while the book's biographical essay considers Michelangelo's more personal traits and circumstances, such as his solitary nature, his thirst for money and commissions, his immense wealth, and his skill as a property investor.

  1. Looks great, a very eye catching cover, capturing the essence of the subject. I couldn't be happier with my purchase (quality and condition exactly as described in the listing) and the service provided. Well priced, suitably packaged and to have my item arrive five days outside the original E.T.A is to be commended considering the hit and miss nature of our postal system. Outstanding, absolutely top shelf, can't recommend highly enough. A well deserved Five star rating for a Five star vendor.

Arrived earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk 780km from the coast, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much. XL+
