Michelangelo. The Graphic Work

Descriere

Delight in page after page of Michelangelo’s graphic brilliance. From architectural structures to anatomically perfect figures, this fresh edition intersperses some of the artist’s finest drawings with his own notes and revisions, offering spine-tingling proximity to the process of his genius. Very few artists can claim such lasting and worldwide fame and importance as Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564). The nickname il divino (“the divine one”) has been applied to him since the 1530s right through to today: his achievements as a sculptor, painter, and architect remain unparalleled and his creations are among the best-known artworks in the world.
