The Complete Work of Michelangelo

ref. 2354230New York: Reynal and Company in association with William Morrow and Company 1966. First Edition. Large Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 15x11x2. First edition. Spine leans forward slightly a couple tiny blemishes to edges. 1966 Large Hardcover. 597 pp. 32 plates in full color numerous black-and-white reproductions throughout. "Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni March 6 1475 - February 18 1564 commonly known as Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance painter sculptor architect poet and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man along with his rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci. Michelangelo's output in every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheer volume of correspondence sketches and reminiscences that survive is also taken into account he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. Two of his best-known works the Pieta and the David were sculpted before he turned thirty. Despite his low opinion of painting Michelangelo also created two of the most influential works in fresco in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Later in life he designed the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the same city and revolutionised classical architecture with his use of the giant order of pilasters. In a demonstration of Michelangelo's unique standing he was the first Western artist whose biography was published while he was alive. Two biographies were published of him during his lifetime; One of them by Giorgio Vasari proposed that he was the pinnacle of all artistic achievement since the beginning of the Renaissance a viewpoint that continued to have currency in art history for centuries. In his lifetime he was also often called Il Divino 'the divine one'. One of the qualities most admired by his contemporaries was his terribilita a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur and it was the attempts of subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned and highly personal style that resulted in the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance Mannerism. Michelangelo was a profound perfectionist. If he found the tiniest flaw in one of his works he considered it ruined. Reynal and Company in association with William Morrow and Company hardcover books
