As the title suggests, the paperback edition of this popular title is a comprehensive overview of Michelangelo's style and how that style influenced the generations of artists that followed.The drawings are from his Windsor Castle groups and are divided into nine sections. Sections one through five cover heads, subjects sacred and profane, pen drawings and chalk nudes. The final four sections examine studies after his sculptures and the influence of the Sistine Chapel, The Last Judgment and the Pauline Chapel. Biographies of the artists and a bibliography complete this impressive catalog.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the pantheon of Western art, no master occupies a higher place than Michelangelo, and his drawings, at the core of his achievement as painter, sculptor and architect, have long been sought by collectors. The collection of drawings by Michelangelo at the Royal Library at Windsor is extraordinarily rich, particularly in presentation sheets - elaborately finished drawings made by the master as gifts for friends or, occasionally, as designs for other artists' projects. Highly valued and very influential, these drawings were much sought after by younger artists and were engraved, copied and re-copied. This volume examines twenty-two supreme examples of Michelangelo's draughtsmanship, and fifty-one works by his contemporaries and followers, demonstrating the impact of an artist - referred to as divine, even in his own lifetime - on the imagination, style, and imagery of his era.
