- While offering both a playful and serious examination of the iconography of the nose from antiquity to the modern period, Michelangelo's Nose concentrates on exploring the way in which Michelangelo created himself. Paul Barolsky analyzes in detail Michelangelo's identification with God the Creator, Old Testament prophets and saints, epic poets and philosophers, and caesars and modern monarchs.
