Hardback. Condition: Good. In this biography, the author of the acclaimed Caravaggio examines the relationships that shaped Michelangelo's first thirty years. In this compelling account, renowned art historian John Spike paints a vivid portrait of one of the world's greatest artists and the places and people--Lorenzo de' Medici, Leonardo, Machiavelli--that inspired and defined his early life and career. Spike's masterful text probes the thinking, evolution, and desires of a young man whose awareness of his exceptional talent never wavered. Michelangelo's complex personality is revealed through lively examinations of the Pietà, the David, and all other major works. Drawing on a rich background of Italian Renaissance politics and culture, Spike deftly navigates the fiery Florentine master's struggle to surpass da Vinci's artistic mastery, and his troubled relationships with Julius II and other key figures of the era. Praise for Young Michelangelo "Spike, an art historian, curator and critic, has done some impressive research to flesh out the early years of the artist's life, right up until his return to Rome in 1508 to focus on a commission in the Sistine Chapel. The young sculptor's daunting talent and quest to earn as much money as possible are woven into the story of the Italian Renaissance and the outsized figures of the age." --The Washington Post "Spike crystallizes historical detail into vivid, memorable imagery. . . . Alternating between accounts of the turbulent political atmosphere and details of Michelangelo's most private moments in the sculpture studio, Spike creates a rich narrative that promises more intrigue than the best adventure novel." --Publishers Weekly "Such a comprehensive account of the master's early life and rise to fame amid the political upheaval in the Papal States and Florentine Republic." --Art + Auction.…

Young Michelangelo: The Path to the Sistine is the most important biography of Michelangelo to appear in modern times, a long-awaited and authoritative reinterpretation of the early life and career of arguably the greatest artist in history. Author John T. Spike surveys Michelangelo's early life from birth to his early thirties, probing the thinking, artistic evolution, and yearnings of a young man thoroughly convinced of his own exceptional talent. Spike's biography covers the full range of Michelangelo's early years and explores the overwhelming influence that his charismatic personality had upon his contemporaries and followers. Spike traces Michelangelo's development into a master sculptor - the creator at a very young age of the Pieta and the David - probes his involvement in the most troubling controversies of his age, and recreates Florence and Rome with vivid sketches of Lorenzo the Magnificent, Leonardo, Julius II, and Machiavelli, for Michelangelo knew them all. Over the arc of his artistic development, from 1475 to 1508, Michelangelo was an eyewitness to the bonfire of the vanities, the Rome of the Borgias, the siege of Florence, and the burning of Savonarola at the stake. Against an uncertain background of intermittent warfare and mercurial artistic patrons, Michelangelo's unrelenting ambition and exceptional talent drove him to create marble and painted masterpieces that are synonymous with the highest achievements of the Italian Renaissance. Now, from the author of landmark books on Masaccio and Caravaggio comes Young Michelangelo: The Path to the Sistine, a prodigiously informative and compelling account that will fulfill the need for a major Michelangelo biography for his generation and many to come.
