Description - Young Michelangelo by John T. Spike
A long-awaited and authoritative reinterpretation of the early life and career of arguably the greatest artist in history. Author John T. Spike surveys Michelangelo's early life from birth to his early thirties, probing the thinking, artistic evolution and yearnings of a young man thoroughly convinced of his own exceptional talent. Spike explores Michelangelo's involvement in the most troubling controversies of his age and recreates Florence and Rome with vivid sketches of Lorenzo the Magnificent, Leonardo, Julius II and Machiavelli.This is a prodigiously informative and compelling account that will fulfil the need for a major Michelangelo biography for this generation and many to come.'A compelling portrait of the artist as a young man in a dangerous time.' Peter Robb, author of M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio'Spike crystallizes historical detail into vivid, memorable imagery...a rich narrative that promises more intrigue than the best adventure novel.'
