At thirty-one, Michelangelo was considered the best painter in Italy and perhaps in the world; long before his death at an advanced age of almost ninety years, admirers called him the greatest sculptor and artist who ever lived. (And ill-wishers, who also had no shortage - an arrogant rude, miser and swindler). Decade after decade, he worked at the epicenter of the turbulent events that determined the face of the European world and the course of history. The achievements of Michelangelo are grandiose - just remember the huge area of ​​​​the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel or the marble giant David. And yet, what he carried out at the limit of human strength is only a small fraction of his plans, the scale of which was truly more suited to the demiurge than to a mortal ...
In his book, the famous art historian and art critic Martin Gayford explores what the world was like in which the titanic genius of the Renaissance had a chance to accomplish his artistic exploits, and what it was like to live in this world for himself - Michelangelo Buonarroti, the man who forever changed our idea of what an artist should be.
