Michelangelo Architect
Product description
This work by Italian art historian Argan is a deeply considered and full treatment of the work Michelangelo most complained about having to do.
In addition to the introduction, Argan provides three chapters, covering Florence, Rome, and Saint Peter's.
Contardi, a student of Argan, has done the text for the accompanying building entries, discussing thoroughly each of the artist's 30-some projects.
The black-and-white photographs are limpid and crisp and include many details; the color illustrations are also good.
The translation from the 1990 Italian original is mostly fluid and clear.
This book provides a very good general treatment of this often overlooked but considerable portion of the artist's oeuvre.
