In late 1504 and early 1505, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and
Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) were both at work on
commissions they had received to paint murals in Florence's City
Hall. Leonardo was to depict a historic battle between Florence and
Milan, Michelangelo one between Florence and Pisa. Though neither
project was ever completed, the painters' mythic encounter shaped
art and its history in the decades and centuries that followed.
This concise, lucid, and thought-provoking book looks again at the
one moment when Leonardo and Michelangelo worked side by side,
seeking to identify the roots of their differing ideas of the
figure in 15th-century pictorial practices and to understand what
this contrast meant to the artists and writers who followed them.
Through close investigation of these two artists, Michael W. Cole
provides a new account of critical developments in Italian
Renaissance painting.
