Michelangelo is considered one of the greatest poets of the
sixteenth century. He also filled hundreds of sheets of paper with
exquisite drawings, many of which went on to become some of the
most celebrated masterpieces of all-time. Organized
chronologically, this collection combines the artist's own words
with his sketches and finished artwork. His letters about the
Sistine Chapel and Pope Julius, for example, will be illustrated
with sketches he would have been working on at the time he was
writing. The writing and art is selected by Carolyn Vaughan, former
editor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who provides fascinating
commentary and insights into the material throughout the book.
