Michelangelo, 1475-1564: The Graphic Work

Graphic beauty
Michelangeloâ€™s breathtaking drawings

Very few artists can claim such lasting and worldwide fame and importance as Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475â€“1564). The nickname il divino (â€œthe divine oneâ€) has been applied to him since the 1530s right through to today: his achievements as a sculptor, painter, and architect remain unparalleled and his creations are among the best-known artworks in the world.

This Bibliotheca Universalis edition is devoted to the artistâ€™s graphic work, a testimony to his masterly command of line, form, and detail, from architectural studies to anatomically perfect figures. The book brings together some of the artistâ€™s finest drawings from museums and collections around the world as well as some of his own notes and revisions, offering stunning proximity not only to the ambition and scope of Michelangeloâ€™s practice but also his working process. A chapter with a compilation of newly attributed and reattributed drawings provides further insights into Michelangeloâ€™s varied graphic oeuvre and the ongoing exploration of his genius.
