In this engaging and handsome book, Cammy Brothers takes an
unusual approach to Michelangelo's architectural designs, arguing
that they are best understood in terms of his experience as a
painter and sculptor. Unlike previous studies, which have focused
on the built projects and considered the drawings only insofar as
they illuminate those buildings, this book analyses his designs as
an independent source of insight into the mechanisms of
Michelangelo's imagination. Brothers gives equal weight to the
unbuilt designs, and suggests that some of Michelangelo's most
radical ideas remained on paper.
Brothers explores the idea of drawing as a mode of thinking,
using its evidence to reconstruct the process by which Michelangelo
arrived at new ideas. By turning the flexibility and fluidity of
his figurative drawing methods to the subject of architecture,
Michelangelo demonstrated how it could match the expressive
possibilities of painting and sculpture.
