Description

Irving Stone's powerful and passionate biographical novel of Michelangelo.

His time: the turbulent Renaissance, the years of poisoning princes, warring popes, the all-powerful Medici family, the fanatic monk Savonarola.

His loves: the frail and lovely daughter of Lorenzo de Medici; the ardent mistress of Marco Aldovrandi; and his last love - his greatest love - the beautiful, unhappy Vittoria Colonna.

His genius: a God-driven fury from which he wrested the greatest art the world has ever known.

Michelangelo Buonarotti, creator of David, painter of the Sistine ceiling, architect of the dome of St Peter's, lives once more in the tempestuous, powerful pages of Irving Stone's marvellous book.

an amazing tour

An amazing book for artists and art lovers. I wont give any synopsis since it will spoil the experience. For the overly curious ones, you can easily read it on the internet, but i would like to appreciate flipkart and their services. Please get more books since these elusive books are not easily available in the Indian market.
Thank you

An Inspiration

Despite all circumstances, all he(Michelangelo) thought of was his art. We all prefer doing certain things over others but he inspires to do, whatever we do, to the very best of our ability. To strive for perfection not because we are good at that thing but because "we" are good. A compelling story...

A timeless masterpiece

This book is a powerful read for any and all lovers of art or literature. Irving Stone masterfully recreates a time of heated religious and political conflict in one of the greatest and most beautiful cities in the world, seen through the keen poetic eyes of the master artist, sculptor and engineer, Michelangelo Buonarroti.
