This splendid work was first published in 1953 and remains a classic of the literature on Michelangelo. It continues to be the only volume that contains illustrations of all the master's work excluding his drawings.

Michelangelo is designed to serve both the student and the art lover; the fine quality of the reproductions and the beauty of the details emphatically prove Michelangelo's genius, while the text surveys the opinions of leading Michelangelo scholars and provides a commentary with bibliographical notes.
