Miles Unger narrates the life of this tormented genius through six of his greatest masterpieces. Michelangelo was ambitious, egotistical, and difficult, but through the towering force of genius and through sheer pugnaciousness, he transformed the way we think about art. Throughout his long career he clashed with patrons by insisting that he had no master but his own demanding muse. Michelangelo stands alone as a master of painting, sculpture, and architecture, a man who reinvented the practice of art itself. This is the life of one of the most revolutionary artists in history, told through the story of six of his greatest masterpieces: “The one indispensable guide for encountering Michelangelo on his home turf” ( The Dallas Morning News).
