B. "the artist who emerges from these pages is paradoxically a far richer character than the one captured in fiction-as complicated as his art, and as fiercely intelligent as his times." -Ann Landi, ArtNews"Wallace's (novel) is a detailed investigation that will repay the attention of a well-informed reader already familiar with Michelangelo's art." -ADRIAN W. RANDOLPH,Dartmouth College"Don't be intimidated by Wallace's reputation as one of the world's leading authorities on Michelangelo: this is a highly readable, and often very funny, tour through Michelangelo's life and career. Modern CEOs could learn much from him." -Ross King, The Daily Beast . It gives a fresh assessment of Michelangelo, showing him not as the moody genius of legend so much as a deft business manager who, among other things, gave his workmen nicknames like Stumpy and Fats

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. In this vividly written biography, William E. Wallace offers a substantially new view of the artist. 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.

John M. Hunt said I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The book took advantage of Michelangelo's large correspondence, which has been largely ignored because it was primarily about family matters. The author develops a thesis that to understand Michelangelo we have to accept that one of his major concerns was his and his family's honor as minor nobility. The book does a good job in developing this thesis. A drawback is that in the process of discussing Michelangel. "Fabulous Book!!" according to J. Tulini. Extremely insightful and well written book about the life and work of Michelangelo. If you only read one book about this amazing artist, this is the one. I read it twice and am going to read it again.. "Michelangelo:he Artist,the Man and his Times" according to C. M. Panyard.

This method provides greater insight into the psychology of the man. As a psychology professor rather than a historian, I appreciated his approach. I have read many of the existing biographies, and found this one informative and useful.
