Good, first hand account, valuable because written by a friend If you want a first hand, and admittedly, loving narrative by a good friend of Michelangelo, this is a good book. Not very long, could probably be read in one sitting, also it is a small book, but it has a lot of photos of Michelangelo's art. A valuable contribution to the sources of information of the Master out there.. Sharon Greer said I love the works of Michelangelo and anything I can find. I love the works of Michelangelo and anything I can find about the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican. Thank you for your promptness and professionalism in your business.. Mixed feelings David A.

As such, it is essential reading for Michelangelo scholars and even university-level students seeking a period, primary source on the subject.

He was the first artist to be the subject of a biography in his lifetime, with the publication of Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects in 1550. Dissatisfied with Vasari's treatment, Michelangelo encouraged his close friend and fellow painter Ascanio Condivi to publish a rival biography. Michelangelo Buonarroti remains arguably the most powerful artist in the Western canon and a touchstone for all artistic endeavor. Painter, sculptor, architect, poet, he redefined not only the possibilities of the imagination, but also the very image of the artist. This compelling narrative of genius and its struggles in the treacherous world of Papal politics remains one of the most fascinating and influential texts in art history.
