Michelangelo is universally recognized to be one of the greatest
artists of all time. In this vividly written biography, William E.
Wallace offers a substantially new view of the artist. Not only a
supremely gifted sculptor, painter, architect, and poet,
Michelangelo was also an aristocrat who firmly believed in the
ancient and noble origins of his family. The belief in his
patrician status fueled his lifelong ambition to improve his family
s financial situation and to raise the social standing of artists.
Michelangelo s ambitions are evident in his writing, dress, and
comportment, as well as in his ability to befriend, influence, and
occasionally say no to popes, kings, and princes. Written from the
words of Michelangelo and his contemporaries, this biography not
only tells his own stories but also brings to life the culture and
society of Renaissance Florence and Rome. Not since Irving Stone s
novel The Agony and the Ecstasy has there been such a compelling
and human portrayal of this remarkable yet credible human
individual.
