Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) was a sculptor, architect, and
painter of genius and a poet and writer of great accomplishment. He
was born in Caprese, where his father, a Florentine nobleman, was
the visiting magistrate. He was apprenticed in Florence to the
painter Ghirlandaio in 1488, and thereafter learned the elements of
fresco technique and developed a lifelong interest in sculpture.
His talent brought him to the attention of Lorenzo de' Medici and
other patrons in Florence and Rome. In his lifetime he was
recognized as the greatest living artist, and created a succession
of masterpieces of sculpture, fresco painting, and architecture. In
all his work, Michelangelo impressed his contemporaries as a
forceful personality, a divine genius endowed with terribilita, or
intense emotional power. Often portrayed as a solitary and austere
figure, he in fact enjoyed a remarkable range of friendships, and
those he loved and hated, served or resisted, are presented here,
from his family and fellow artists to the popes, nobles, and rulers
of Europe. In this new life of Michelangelo, George Bull places him
firmly in the context of his time. He worked during three-quarters
of a century of tremendous change in European society, and as an
artist was supremely responsive to the hopes, fears, and values of
his culture, which he both exemplified and defied.
