Before reaching the tender age of 30, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) had already sculpted Pietà and David, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. As a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect, the achievements of this Italian master are unique―no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multifaceted, and wide-ranging œuvre.
This fresh TASCHEN edition traces Michelangelo’s ascent to the cultural elite of the Renaissance. Ten richly illustrated chapters cover the artist’s paintings, sculptures, and architecture, including a close analysis of the artist’s tour de force frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.Full-page reproductions and enlarged details allow readers to appreciate the finest details in the artist’s repertoire, while the book’s biographical essay considers Michelangelo’s more personal traits and circumstances, such as his solitary nature, his thirst for money and commissions, his immense wealth, and his skill as a property investor.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Noch bevor er das Alter von 30 Jahren erreichte, hatte Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) bereits die Pietà und den David gemeißelt, zwei der berühmtesten Skulpturen der gesamten Kunstgeschichte. Die Leistungen dieses italienischen Meisters sind einzigartig - kein Künstler vor oder nach ihm schuf jemals ein solch gewaltiges, facettenreiches und weitreichendes Werk. Als Michelangelo 1564 starb, galt er bereits als nationales Heiligtum. Seine Werke sollten eine beispiellose Wirkung auf die europäische Kunst der kommenden Jahrhunderte entfalten. Dieses Buch stellt die Gemälde, Skulpturen und Bauten Michelangelos in einem bislang ungekannten Ausmaß vor. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei den monumentalen Fresken in der Sixtinischen Kapelle. Ganzseitige Reproduktionen und Ausschnittvergrößerungen ermöglichen es, feinste Details aus dem Repertoire des Florentiner Ausnahmekünstlers zu studieren. Der begleitende Essay zeichnet das Leben eines mal zornigen, mal melancholischen Einzelgängers nach, der zum 'göttlichen' Künstler-Souverän aufstieg und das Verständnis von der Rolle des Künstlers in der Gesellschaft für immer veränderte. Drei Kataloge zu den Gemälden, den Skulpturen und der Architektur Michelangelos setzen sich umfassend und kritisch mit der Forschung zu Michelangelo auseinander. 600 pp. Französisch.
