In this book, Sarah Rolfe Prodan examines the spiritual poetry of
Michelangelo in light of three contexts: the Catholic Reformation
movement, Renaissance Augustinianism, and the tradition of Italian
religious devotion. Prodan combines a literary, historical, and
biographical approach to analyze the mystical constructs and
conceits in Michelangelo's poems, thereby deepening our
understanding of the artist's spiritual life in the context of
Catholic Reform in the mid-sixteenth century. Prodan also
demonstrates how Michelangelo's poetry is part of an Augustinian
tradition that emphasizes mystical and moral evolution of the self.
Examining such elements of early modern devotion as prayer, lauda
singing, and the contemplation of religious images, Prodan provides
a unique perspective on the subtleties of Michelangelo's approach
to life and to art. Throughout, Prodan argues that Michelangelo's
art can be more deeply understood when considered together with his
poetry, which points to a spirituality that deeply informed all of
his production.
