Michelangelo: Genius of the Renaissance

128 pp. | Watts | September, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-531-11490-2 $$22.00
(4) 4-6 Book Report Biography series. This combination of history, biography, and art analysis introduces the artist by emphasizing not the content of his art but the influence of political maneuverings on his work. The plethora of shifting projects and demanding patrons may overwhelm the reader, but Michelangelo's immense talent, artistic commitment, and fallibility as a human are clear. Mediocre black-and-white reproductions of paintings, sculptures, and architectural work are included, as is a time line. Bib., glos., ind.
