"The life of perhaps the most famous, most revolutionary artist in history, told through the stories of six of his magnificent masterpieces"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
The life of one of the most revolutionary artists in history, told through the story of six of his greatest masterpieces. Among the immortals-Leonardo, Rembrandt, Picasso-Michelangelo stands alone as a master of painting, sculpture, and architecture. He was not only the greatest artist in an age of giants, but a man who reinvented the practice of art itself. Throughout his long career he clashed with patrons by insisting that he had no master but his own demanding muse and promoting the novel idea that it was the artist, rather than the lord who paid for it, who was creative force behind the work.
