Adrian Stokes was one of the twentieth century's finest and most
discriminating writers on art. Of over twenty works of art
criticism, Michelangelo was considered by Lawrence Gowing to be the
most complete he ever wrote, presenting an understanding of the
great artist that no one subsequently could afford to ignore.
Stokes brings to bear in this work not only twenty-five years'
study and appreciation of Italian Renaissance art and of
aesthetics, but also a unique psychological perspective, as he
explains in his introduction, which enables him to uncover the
depths of the artist's personality. The subtlety of feeling and
profound knowledge of sculpture which Sir Herbert Read admired in
Stokes's work is also combined with a literary style perfected
through his own poetry and criticism. Presenting a unique survey of
his subject's literary as well as his artistic legacy, Stokes
succeeds, as no other has before or since, in his aim of bringing
Michelangelo's greatness into nearer view.
