Michelangelo : by Hirst, Michael.(CARDINAL)143365; Michelangelo Buonarroti,1475-1564.(CARDINAL)156670;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 378-415) and index.Florentine origins -- The first Roman encounter -- Return to Florence -- The artist and Pope Julius -- The Sistine Chapel ceiling -- After Pope Julius -- Pope Leo and Florence -- Undertakings in Rome and Florence -- A vulnerable artist -- Florentine epilogue.Volume 1 is the first of what will be the definitive modern biography of Michelangelo. This illuminating study of Michelangelo's extraordinary career follows the artist from his apprenticeship in Ghirlandaio's workshop to his definitive move to Rome in 1534, when at the age of fifty-nine, he left behind his native Florence, never to return. During these years he created such outstanding works as the marble Pieta, the giant marble David- commissioned for the cathedral in Florence- the Sistine ceiling frescoes and the new sacristy and library for the Medici family at San Lorenzo. He also began the monumental tomb for Pope Julius II in Rome, and became one of the most sought-after artists of all time. Written by the leading Michelangelo scholar, this prodigiously informative account benefits from recent archival discoveries and restorations, and is enriched by material from the long-awaited editions of the artist's correspondence and artistic contracts. The wealth of new information enables fresh light to be shed on the genesis of Michelangelo's works in sculpture, painting and architecture, and on his complex psychological relations with his family, friends, and powerful patrons. -- from Book Jacket, v.1
