Michangelo the sculptor is here presented in stunning totality. Newly photographed in color and black-and-white, his finished work in sculpture and all the projects, models, and reworkings appear in full views and also in almost cinematic details. These permit the reader to walk around each work in complete freedom, to experience the power of the whole by seeing it from all sides or to concentrate at will on spectacular passages. From the smallest part to the largest aspect, Michelangelo's genius is unflagging; he packs into a rounded thumb, a fall of drapery, or a tensed muscle the same degree of terribilita orpassionate tenderness that the magnificent works contain in their fullness. Professor Frederick Hartt, who has a lifetime of study and knowledge of Michelangelo's art behind him, is superbly qualified to bring fresh meaning to these works. He analyzes Michelangelo's technique of carving - his choice of blocks, his gradated chisels and finishing devices. He also explains the politics, personalities, and problems that halted the completion of many projects, and gives a new account of how and why their present appearance may deviate from the master's plans and visions. Yet in discussing the marvelous unfinished works the author acknowledges their inspired power, as . .. these giants struggle to free themselves from the surrounding marble. ... If the great artist could miraculously return and carve away all the rough marble, we would probably miss it. Michelangelo's relevant poetry and letters are freshly translated by the author, and prove to yield fuller information about his methods and intentions. Professor Hartt's new look at all the problems results in several cases in new dates and reconstructions. The beautiful photographs support this new look, and the reader will be enthralled by the shining and shadowy surface values of the sculptures in the numerous full-size color plates.

For survey courses in Italian Renaissance art.

In the late fifteenth century, the palace of Lorenzo the Magnificent, ruler of Florence, was a meeting place of intellectuals, writers, philosophers, and artists. Among them was the talented young Michelangelo, soon to rank with Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael as one of the giants of the Renaissance. This book tells of Michelangelo's training in the workshop of Ghirlandaio, his fascination with the frescoes of Giotto and Masaccio, and the development of his lifelong passion for sculpture.
