Book Description
Excerpt from Michel Angelo Buonarroti, Sculptor, Painter, Architect: The Story of His Life and Labors When the name of Michel Angelo is spoken, ideas and images of grandeur arise. It is a case in which the name promises the man, and the man fulfils the power of the name. Doubtless many an Italian, many a Florentine, before and since, bore that name; for it was and is the custom in those countries especially to name children after saints and angels. They are the home of saints in number altogether beyond other countries, just as they are the home of cardinals; because the Roman Church has had its abode in the midst of them, and created saints and cardinals according to its necessities. And so because Michel the Angel was a saint, the great Buonarroti was Michel the Angel, as more than one poet has celebrated him, and more than one artist has thought of him, looking upon his unexampled and unapproachable works.

Book Description
The fame and influence of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) were as immediate as they were unprecedented. It is not surprising, therefore, that he was the only living artist Giorgio Vasari included in the first edition of Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, published in 1550. Revised and expanded in 1568, Vasari’s monumental work comprises more than two hundred biographies; for centuries it has been recognized as a seminal text in art history and one of the most important sources on the Italian Renaissance. Vasari’s biography of Michelangelo, the longest in his Lives, presents Michelangelo’s oeuvre as the culminating achievement of Renaissance painting, sculpture, and architecture. He tells the grand story of the artist’s expansive career, profiling his working habits; describing the creation of countless masterpieces, from the David to the Sistine Chapel ceiling; and illuminating his relationships with popes and other illustrious patrons. A lifelong friend, Vasari also quotes generously from the correspondence between the two men; the narrative is further enhanced by an abundance of colorful anecdotes. The volume’s forty-two illustrations convey the range and richness of Michelangelo’s art. An introduction by the scholar David Hemsoll traces the textual development of Vasari’s Lives and situates his biography of Michelangelo in the broader context of Renaissance art history.
