A propos de cet article

Fine condition heavy oversized green cloth boards with gold front cover and spine lettering contained in a fine condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Chronological Summary and Biographical Note. Profusely illustrated with 109 illustrations, including a triple-page black-and-white foldout drawing and 95 full color plates. "Michelangelo the Painter - a sumptuous feast for the eye - makes of each reader a witness to the glory and the power of the paintings of this great artist. All of Michelangelo's paintings are reproduced in colorplates of superlative quality; a full dozen are double-page spreads. The great Sistine Chapel is shown more fully than it has ever been in one volume. Many of the elements are more visible here than in the Chapel itself, for in addition to full views we are shown individual scenes and closeup details. There are parts of the Chapel which we might miss as we stand far below - the smaller triangular vaults above the windows, the bronze painted medallions, the lunettes around the windows - for the magnificent center of the Ceiling is usually more than enough for the viewer to absorb. Yet all of these areas display Michelangelo's genius, and all can be fully admired in these superb and truthful illustrations. The same is true of the Last Judgment, the mighty fresco that covers the wall behind the altar and contains Michelangelo's interpretation of the ultimate fate of mankind. The multitude of figures swirls up from the ground to Christ's right hand and descends inexorably on the other side; to assimilate this panoply of poignant expressions and poses requries study and time, and detailed colorplates of the kind this volume provides. And the great frescoes of Michelangelo's later years, the two walls of the Pauline Chapel, have never been so splendidly reproduced as here. His power does not lapse, though he was sixty-five when he began them; rather, his painting is suffused with a new range of color that makes the broad compositions bloom with unforgettable force. Professor Valerio Mariani, of the University of Naples, is a well-known authority on Michelangelo. He has written a text that accounts fully for the circumstances of Michelangelo's great paintings, and interprets these vast works for the reader in many ways. He has added a chronology and bibliography for the reader's convenience, and includes full-page illustrations of the artist's drawings, many in color, that enrich our comprehension of Michelangelo's lasting genius." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
