Overview
This splendid work was first published in 1953 and remains a classic of the literature on Michelangelo. It continues to be the only volume that contains illustrations of all the master's work excluding his drawings. Michelangelo is designed to serve both the student and the art lover; the fine quality of the reproductions and the beauty of the details emphatically prove Michelangelo's genius, while the text surveys the opinions of leading Michelangelo scholars and provides a commentary with bibliographical notes.Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
In this recent revision of the classic 1953 study, Michelangelo: Paintings, Sculpture, Architecture, color photographs of the newly cleaned ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (and new prints of the original edition's black-and-white photography) complement the expert essays penned by a group of prominent and influential art historians and critics. This volume's longevity is not hard to understand, because the feat of reproducing all of Michelangelo's life's work in one book is unlikely to be repeated soon.Library Journal
Originally printed in 1953, this edition is the title's sixth incarnation. This update now includes color photographs of the newly cleaned ceiling frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. All the original black-and-white images also have been redone for this upgrade.Book Details
