Michelangelo

Collecting 60 color reproductions of works by Michelangelo (1475-1564), this book showcases drawings currently on display in the Denon Wing of the Louvre Museum in Paris. A powerful creative force of the Renaissance, Michelangelo--sculptor, painter, architect, and poet--drew incessantly, using pen and ink, black stone, or red chalk. Each drawing is accompanied by a critical introduction by a renowned specialist on Michelangelo, and a brief biography of Michelangelo and list of works illustrated are included.
