Synopsis
This lovely gift book introduces one of the greatest Renaissance masters through his drawings. A short illustrated essay opens the book, describing Michelangelo's life and the background behind some of his greatest works, including the Sistine chapel ceiling and the Last Judgement. The book then illustrates a selection of his most important drawings with short captions, from sketches jotting down preliminary ideas to highly finished studies - all proving how integral drawing was to the artist in the process of perfecting his ideas. In all the illustrated works, from portraits to architectural studies, from complex studies for the Sistine chapel to his moving Crucifixion scenes, the genius and inventiveness of the artist is apparent, making this the perfect introduction to the work of an unsurpassed master draughtsman.

Physical description: 96 pages: col. ill. ; 19 cm. Summary: Michelangelo (1475-1564) was one of the most influential and admired artists of the Italian Renaissance. His creativity extended from works of sculpture and paintings to architecture and poetry. Central to all of Michelangelo's artistic output were his drawings, in which his creative ideas were evolved and perfected. Illustrated chronologically through this book are outstanding examples from the British Museum, ranging from unfinished sketches to exquisitely refined studies. They give an incredible insight into the artist's thought processes as he developed such famous works as the Sistine chapel ceiling and the Last Judgement. With an essay outlining Michelangelo's life and key works, this small book is an essential introduction to the drawings of this undisputed Renaissance genius.
