Michelangelo--The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture brings together in one exquisite volume the powerful sculptures, the awe-inspiring paintings and the classical architectural works of what may be the greatest artist of all time. Magnificent new colour and black-and-white photographs, many never before published, highlight the works: his tender Pietіs, in which hard, unforgiving marble is transformed into the form of a mother cradling her fallen son; the regal tombs of the Medici, with the unforgettable allegories of Day, Night, Dawn and Dusk; the famous series of Slaves that emerge, unfinished, from their stone prisons of solid marble; and David, the epitome of heroism, self-assurance and powerPhotography & photographsRenaissance art
