Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Tracing the final 30 years of Michelangelos career, this book examines how the great master used art and faith to explore the common human experience of ageing in a rapidly changing world. This fascinating and beautifully illustrated catalogue demonstrates the creativity of Michelangelos late years in a way that is both accessible and scholarly. Jill Burke, author of How to be a Renaissance Woman and The Italian Renaissance Nude Excellent catalogue Trois Crayons Michelangelo Buonarroti (14751564) was one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. He was not the isolated, tortured genius of artistic myth, but a man who maintained a close circle of friends and associates into old age. He developed collaborative working relationships with younger artists, thereby maintaining his fame and reputation even as he aged, relinquishing the hardest physical work to others. His late drawings offer a powerful insight into his psychology, reflecting his Catholic faith, his commanding intellectual engagement and his hope for eternal life. Michelangelo reimagined the iconography of religious art to create hugely influential compositions of key moments in Christian faith, such as the Crucifixion, the Last Judgment and the Pieta (or Lamentation). He was involved in designing several significant sites in Rome at this time including his key architectural project, the immense challenge of rebuilding St Peters, at the very heart of Christianity. His role as an architect is explored through beautiful drawings, highlighting his range as a designer. Alongside his major commissions he created deeply personal drawings revisiting earlier compositions to explore intensely moving Crucifixions that served as spiritual meditations on Christs death and offered the hope of salvation for an elderly man facing the end of his own long life. Built on the British Museums extraordinary collection of drawings, this book explores Michelangelos relationships and late creativity to go beyond the towering Renaissance master known today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The first exploration of Piranesi's work as a draughtsman, published to coincide with an exhibition at the British Museum.The Venetian-born artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is best known for his dramatic prints of the architecture and antiquities of his adopted city of Rome, and for the extraordinary flights of spatial fancy in his series Le Carceri (Prisons). But he was also an astonishingly talented draughtsman, as revealed in this outstanding collection of drawings at the British Museum. This book explores the relationship between Piranesi's drawings and prints, and reveals the way in which his style and interests as a draughtsman evolved over time. Some are spontaneous 'primi pensieri', first thoughts that anticipate a bigger work; others explore more complex exercises in perspective and spatial representation. Piranesi drawings reveals the quality and lasting impact of the work of this remarkably influential artist.…
