Michelangelo’s breathtaking drawings
Very few artists can claim such lasting and worldwide fame and importance asMichelangelo Buonarroti(1475–1564). The nicknameil divino(“the divine one”) has been applied to him since the 1530s right through to today: his achievements as a sculptor, painter, and architect remain unparalleled and hiscreations are among the best-known artworks in the world.
This Bibliotheca Universalis edition isdevoted to the artist’s graphic work, a testimony to his masterly command of line, form, and detail, from architectural studies to anatomically perfect figures. The book brings together some of the artist’sfinest drawings from museums and collections around the worldas well as some of his ownnotes and revisions, offering stunning proximity not only to the ambition and scope of Michelangelo’s practice but also his working process. A chapter with a compilation of newly attributed and reattributed drawings provides further insights into Michelangelo’s varied graphic oeuvre and the ongoing exploration of his genius.
