This is a very special volume of Michelangelo’s artistic value, biography, and the cultural history of Renaissance as an essential reference to any scholar’s collection of Christian Art and Church History. Further, I highly recommend this book to anyone travelling to Italy to study the art of Michelangelo in person since it serves as a reference point to each historical tour site of Renaissance Art. The concise book will highlight in color the major and minor works of Buonarroti from the City of Florence to the Vatican, which includes sketches, graphs, and anthologies of his works of beauty and truth.
Overall, I think the coffee table presentation paints a “great picture” of why Michelangelo was the most sought after artist in Europe during the Renaissance, and it envelopes the background of unique persons and places that accompanied the Florentine’s romancing life work of sculpture and paint in the highest forms of Divinity and Humanities .
