The turbulent genius of Michelangelo is unique in the history of art: never before or since, has a single artist reached such heights as both a sculptor and a painter. Even in his lifetime he was known a "the divine Michelangelo", working for the popes and princes of Renaissance Italy while showing a fiery independence that won a new respect for all artists. Michelangelo's vision was essentially religious, but it was express through mighty human forms of unsurpassed power and beauty. The plates in this book show all of his most famous sculptures, including the heart-rending Pieta in St. Peter's, the colossal heroic figure of David, and the sternly majestic Moses. Michelangelo's paintings are generously represented, notably by restored and cleaned scenes from the vast Sistine Chapel ceiling, now revealed in all their blazing glory.
