- Summary:
- Michelangelo was the greatest sculptor who ever lived, recognized by his contemporaries as a genius, 'canonized' even before his death. Yet he is not the most accessible of artists due to his uncompromising ways and, indeed, the acclaim and veneration that surrounds him.
- This book sets out to explore and interpret the works of this extraordinary man, so that the reader can see fully the artist at work. Details of his sculptures have been photographed especially for this publication, enabling one to view the works close up. The book also includes a number of unfinished pieces, resulting from Michelangelo's quest for the impossible.
