Michelangelo. The Complete Paintings, Sculptures and Architecture (XL).Иль Дивино. Познакомьтесь с мастером эпохи Возрождения. Еще до достижения 30-летнего возраста Микеланджело Буонарроти (1475–1564) уже изваял Пьету и Давида, две самые известные скульптуры за всю историю искусства. Достижения этого итальянского мастера как скульптора, живописца, рисовальщика и архитектора уникальны — ни один художник ни до него, ни после него не создавал такого обширного, многогранного и разнопланового творчества. В этом свежем издании TASCHEN прослеживается восхождение Микеланджело к культурной элите эпохи Возрождения. Десять богато иллюстрированных глав посвящены картинам, скульптурам и архитектуре художника, включая тщательный анализ фресок, исполненных художником в Сикстинской капелле. Полностраничные репродукции и увеличенные детали позволяют читателям оценить лучшие детали в репертуаре художника, в то время как биографический очерк книги рассматривает более личные черты и обстоятельства Микеланджело, такие как его уединенный характер, его жажда денег и заказов, его огромное богатство и его навыки в качестве инвестора в недвижимость.
