Michelangelo's developing genius is revealed as never before by the
man who became Michelangelo's last apprentice- an American artist
and art historian whose family helped carve Mount Rushmore. Many
believe Michelangelo's talent was miraculous and untrained, the
product of "divine" genius-a myth that Michelangelo himself
promoted by way of cementing his legacy. But the young Michelangelo
studied his craft like any Renaissance apprentice, learning from a
master, copying, and experimenting with materials and styles. In
this extraordinary book, Alan Pascuzzi recounts the young
Michelangelo's journey from student to master, using the artist's
drawings to chart his progress and offering unique insight into the
true nature of his mastery. Pascuzzi himself is today a practicing
artist in Florence, Michelangelo's city. When he was a grad student
in art history, he won a Fulbright to "apprentice" himself to
Michelangelo: to study his extant drawings and copy them to discern
his progression in technique, composition, and mastery of anatomy.
Pascuzzi also relied on the Renaissance treatise that "Il Divino"
himself would have been familiar with, Cennino Cennini's The
Craftsman's Handbook (1399), which was available to apprentices as
a kind of textbook of the period. Pascuzzi's narrative traces
Michelangelo's development as an artist during the period from
roughly 1485, the start of his apprenticeship, to his completion of
the Sistine Chapel ceiling in 1512. Analyzing Michelangelo's
burgeoning abilities through copies he himself executed in museums
and galleries in Florence and elsewhere, Pascuzzi unlocks the
transformation that made him great. At the same time, he narrates
his own transformation from student to artist as Michelangelo's
last apprentice.
