Do not hesitate: buy this book.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michelangelo: Sculptor (Paperback)
Don't let the price deceive, this is one of the best books of photographic reproductions available documenting M's sculpture. I originally purchased this in 2000 when I was in Rome, and I couldn't find it anywhere else. I wanted to give some copies to friends, and I had to order then from Italy, but now anyone can have this book; and you should buy it. Enclosed are beautiful, full page prints, and many macros from interesting angles; so close you can see the chisel marks! The works photographed:Battle of Centaurs Madonna of the Steps Bacchus La Pieta David Bruges Madonna St. Matthew Moses The figures of the Medici Chapel Slaves and captives Brutus Palestrina Pieta Rondanini Pieta

Great Resource,

This review is from: Michelangelo: Sculptor (Paperback)
I actually bought two copies of this book; one for myself and one for my teenage cousin who is a budding sculptor.Needless to say we were both immensely pleased. Its not a "text-heavy" book but it does contain enough information to make you feel informed. The quality of the images is spectacular and the details of the iconic and slightly lesser known sculptures have really helped him develop his technique. Whether for educational application or casual perusal this book excels. |
