This major new biography recounts the extraordinary life of one of
the most creative figures in Western culture, weaving together the
multiple threads of Michelangelo's life and times with a brilliant
analysis of his greatest works. The author retraces Michelangelo's
journey from Rome to Florence, explores his changing religious
views and examines the complicated politics of patronage in
Renaissance Italy. The psychological portrait of Michelangelo is
constantly foregrounded, depicting with great conviction a
tormented man, solitary and avaricious, burdened with repressed
homosexuality and a surplus of creative enthusiasm. Michelangelo's
acts of self-representation and his pivotal role in constructing
his own myth are compellingly unveiled.
Antonio Forcellino is one of the world's leading authorities on
Michelangelo and an expert art historian and restorer. He has been
involved in the restoration of numerous masterpieces, including
Michelangelo's Moses. He combines his firsthand knowledge of
Michelangelo's work with a lively literary style to draw the reader
into the very heart of Michelangelo's genius.
