This book presents the work of perhaps the greatest sculptor of all time in my opinion. Every time I see his sculptures, I come away filled with awe for his ability and vision. That is well worth the cost of the book. By all means read it.I can not say the same about Michelangelo's paintings. In my opinion the paintings fell in value after they were cleaned. They became bizarre, distorted, fantastic, and hasty. Imagine saying that about the Sistine Chapel. Sigh. How things have changed for the worse. Still that is my opinion.Look at the pictures in this book and decide for yourself if they look like drawings from a Men's overly muscled fitness magazine or glorify the human form as we used to think. Either way, the book is a good resource.
I know essentially nothing about art. This book took me a long time to get through, but reading it has given me a much greater appreciation for the circumstances in which Michelangelo produced his creations than I could ever have expected to achieve. The graphics are, as always, gorgeous, and the supplemental biographical material -- especially the lengthy, thoughtful 19th century biography with which the volume ends -- really made me feel much closer to and more enthusiastic about the works in Rome and Florence than I ever have before. Like the Velasquez book from Delphi, this one really made me feel as though I took one of those Fine Arts classes I was always s too busy to try back in school 40 years ago. Couldn't recommend this more highly to the casual reader!
Excellent book and well worth buying
I purchased this book as an assist with my study of Michelangelo. I'm very satisfied with the book
Beautiful...a glimpse at paintings I may never see in my life.....excellently priced.
Very interesting and complete resource about Michelangelo and his artistic output.
A good introduction to Michelangelo's works, and great value for money.
