Review & Description
Sculptor, painter, architect, and poet Michelangelo was the greatest artist in a time of greatness. He lived during the Italian Renaissance, a period known for its creative activity. Civilization made huge strides in science and invention, in literature, and in politics. In art, the age’s great achievement, Michelangelo led all others.
A short, wide-shouldered man with a face made homely by a broken nose, Michelangelo had a remarkable ability to concentrate his thoughts and energy on the task in hand. Often while working he would eat only a little bread, would sleep on the floor or on a cot beside his unfinished painting or statue, and would continue to wear the same clothes until his work was finished.
This beautiful Kindle edition contains a linked table of contents to each major movement of Michelangelo's life and works. Dozens of high quality images are rendered meticulously on the Kindle screen.Sculptor, painter, architect, and poet Michelangelo was the greatest artist in a time of greatness.
