Very few artists can claim such lasting and worldwide fame and importance as Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564). The nickname il divino (“the divine one”) has been applied to him since the 1530s right through to today: his achievements as a sculptor, painter, and architect remain unparalleled and his creations are among the best-known artworks in the world. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition is devoted to the artist’s graphic work , a testimony to his masterly command of line, form, and detail, from architectural studies to anatomically perfect figures. The book brings together some of the artist’s finest drawings from museums and collections around the world as well as some of his own notes and revisions , offering stunning proximity not only to the ambition and scope of Michelangelo’s practice but also his working process. A chapter with a compilation of newly attributed and reattributed drawings provides further insights into Michelangelo’s varied graphic oeuvre and the ongoing exploration of his genius.

Good for the price but...
This books is a huge tome, I don't know know why but I was expecting more figure drawings. There are some figure drawings but they only make up about a fourth of the book. I bought the book expressly because of the figure drawings. Still always good to look at Michelangelo's work.

Eh, I wish it was a bit bigger with more pictures of his work at different angles. Ah well, better than nothing, and still quite informative.

Quality printing but tiny
Quality printing and okay for the price but be aware that this is a small book and the reproductions are tiny. Order a magnifying glass to go with it.

Para apaixonados pelas obras do Michelangelo!
Edição perfeita da taschen! Ótima qualidade de impressão e acabamento como sempre. Único ponto negativo é que o livro é um pouco pequeno para visualizar bem os esboços. Mas vale à pena tê-lo. Há uma edição deluxe deste mesmo livro. A diferença é que é um pouco mais grosso e tem um fitilho para marcar página. Se forem comprar taschen tem que ficar de olho nestes detalhes. Pois há muitos tamanhos e datas de lançamento diferentes.

Ottimo
Libro al livello della collana. Mi ha sorpreso scoprire che molti disegni storicamente attribuiti a Michelangelo, non sono suoi. Michelangelo disegnatore non ha lasciato molto, purtroppo.
