Michelangelo
Michelangelo Buonarroti has commonly been taken to be one of the finest and most rounded artist that ever lived. Lord Gower surveys Michelangelo’s work in ever details, from his sculpture to his painting, his abilities as an architect to his draughtsmanship, ever to the extent of assessing his poetry. Gower’s work is a brilliantly thorough critical appraisal of Michelangelo that evaluates his turbulent life and relationships as well as his influences on later art.
