About the book: Architect, sculptor, painter, poet – Michelangelo was a universal artist of unique virtuosity. This XL volume analyzes the extensive oeuvre of painting, sculpture, and architecture in detail. The greatest genius of the Renaissance becomes tangible in spectacular detail shots; a special focus is placed on the epoch-making frescoes of the Sistine Chapel.
