3.0 out of 5 stars useless, March 16, 2006

A. Dummai "Q1" (CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Michelangelo Life Drawings (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)

What is the point of buying having the book when you can't even see it. The print quality of this book is so poor. The images are either too dark or just can't see at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary Studies of the Great Master, October 22, 2000

"dandn" (Ramat-Gan, Israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Michelangelo Life Drawings (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)

In this thin but great book, you'll find 46 works of the great master - Michelangelo. Concentrating in Life drawings you'll see studies of the great marble - "David", for "The Battle of cascina",for various figures of the Sistine Chaplle Ceiling,and many more astonishing studies, all vivid in his great manner. Black & white. A real "Must Buy", especially in this price. Michelangelo. The Master.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Michelangelo Life Drawings (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)

The images are not the highest quality, but if your goal is to get a taste, maybe to have something to copy to learn the style, this book will do fine, and it is not terribly expensive.
