In this masterly, Howard Hibbard relates Michelangelo’s art to his life and to the times in which he lived, relying on the earliest biographies and the latest scholarly research as well as on Michelangelo’s own letters and poems. What emerges is both a perspective appraisal of his work and a revealing life history of the man who was arguably the greatest artist of all time.
"Certainly the best summary of Michelangelo's life and achievement written in the English language."--Anthony Blunt, Times Literary Supplement.
