Publisher's summary : Michelangelo is universally recognized as one of the greatest artists of all time, yet his life-which spanned the Italian Renaissance to the first stirrings of the Counter-Reformation-continues to be obscured in myth.

The wealth of information presented here offers a fresh perspective on his life and his relationships.
