SUMMARY |
This book explores the life of Michelangelo Buonarroti, a man who sculpted with materials others abandoned, whose first official piece of art was really a fraud, and who hid his own likeness in many of his paintings. It was Michelangelos talent and imagination that created the Pieta, the famous statue of David, and the Sistine Chapels ceilings. |
