Michelangelo

Michelangelo is considered one of the most significant artists of the Italian High Renaissance. He lived from 1475 to 1564 and was an Italian painter, sculptor, architect, and poet. The German philosopher and art historian Carl Justi has created a comprehensive account of Michelangelo's works and life in this volume. He provides a detailed portrait of the artist, describing his life, development, and beliefs. Justi attempts to interpret the individual figures of the master and highlights his relationship with the Medici and the Church. This book is a high-quality reprint of the long out-of-print original edition from 1900.
