About the Author:
The late "Frederick Hartt" was one of the most distinguished art historians of the twentieth century. A student of Berenson, Schapiro, and Friedlaender, he taught for more than fifty years, influencing generations of Renaissance scholars. At the time of his death he was Paul Goodloe McIntire Professor Emeritus of the History of Art at the University of Virginia. He was a Knight of the Crown of Italy, a Knight Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, an honorary citizen of Florence, and an honorary member of the Academy of the Arts of Design, Florence, a society whose charter members included Michelangelo and the Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. Hartt authored, among other works, "Florentine Art under Fire" (1949); "Botticelli" (1952); "Giulio Romano" (1958); "Love in Baroque Art" (1964); "The Chapel of the Cardinal of Portugal" (1964); three volumes on the painting, sculpture, and drawings of Michelangelo (1964, 1969, 1971); "Donatello, Prophet of Modern Vision" (1974); "Michelangelo's Three Pietas" (1975); and the monumental "Art: A History o f Painting, Sculpture, Architecture," now in its fourth edition (1993). "David G . Wilkins" is professor emeritus of the history of art and architecture at the University of Pittsburgh and former chair of the department. He has also served on the faculties of the University of Michigan in Florence and the Semester at Sea Program. He is author of "Donatello" (1984, with Bonnie A.

Book Description Brossura. Condition: nuovo. prima edizione. This volume includes all of Michelangelo's paintings, as well as a selection of his work in sculpture and architecture. Numerous full-color details capture the works' staggering depth of meaning and magnificent beauty. Frederick Hartt, the great scholar of Italian Renaissance art, provides a fascinating account of Michelangelo's titanic genius. When Michelangelo Buonarroti died in 1564 there ended a career unparalleled in the arts. This volume includes all of Michelangelo' paintings, presented in forty large colorplates and many sizable black-and-white reproductions. Michelangelo's career was continuously devoted to sculture; painting-and architecture-occurred only sporadically. For he painted primarily at the behest of three Renaissance popes, patrons too great to be refused, who demanded works on a herculean scale for the papal palace, the Vatican: the vast ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the enormous Last Judgment on the altar wall of that chapel, and the two mighty frescoes in the Pauline Chapel. Other painters have covered as many square feet in fresco, but only Michelangelo conceived and created works of such thunderous power, staggering in their depth of meaning and their magnificent beauty. Frederick Hartt (1914-1991), the author and renowned scholar of Italian art writes a long essay and forty vivid colorplate commentaries that contain his own insights and the fruits of previous generations of research. Professor Hartt's account, originally published in 1964, gives us the course of Michelangelo's pain-wracked career, often in the artist's own words and those of his contemporaries, for Michelangelo's titanic genius was acknowledged in his own day as it is in ours. Whether this volume brings our first acquaintance with Michelangelo's art or renews an admiration of long standing, it offers an unforgettable experience. Note alle condizioni del volume Nessuna.
