5.0 out of 5 stars
Intensely informative, exhaustively researched; triumphant, July 21, 2009
This review is from: Michelangelo and the Reinvention of the Human Body (Hardcover)
Every time I read this book I am astounded. This author seamlessly weaves together information from obscure and ancient texts to make mind-boggling points that explain the creative mind of Michelangelo. Increases my appreciation of all of the art. This book and " Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling " caused me to buy large color books of the art of Michelangelo; because for the first time I can begin to understand a little and appreciate a little of the thought processes of this great artistic and religious genius. James Hall should be awarded for increasing the availability of the mind of Michelangelo and for helping regular people to grasp a little of a very complicated and fantastic period of religious and artistic genius.
