Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475–1564) was a Renaissance artist of profound talent. His diverse achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, and engineering created visionary masterpieces that significantly impacted art history. Giorgio Vasari regarded him as the zenith of Renaissance accomplishment, and his contemporaries referred to him as “Il Divino” (“the divine one”). This book offers an essential introduction to his work, exploring his distinctive figuration and the style of terribilità, characterized by momentous grandeur.
