Michelangelo's drawings offer a unique insight into how the artist worked and thought. They are beautiful artworks in their own right but also provide a crucial link between his work as a sculptor, painter and architect. Michelangelo was extraordinarily famous during his lifetime, so much so that other artists produced portraits of him and three biographies were written. His artistic achievements set him in a class apart from his contemporaries; after the death of his main rival Raphael in 1520, he was to dominate the Roman art world for more than four decades. His primary focus as an artist was the male body, and his drawings chart his relentless search to find poses that would most eloquently express the emotional and spiritual state of his subjects. Most of Michelangelo's drawings were never intended for public display. In fact, he would have been appalled to see them exhibited as he hated showing them to outsiders. He destroyed a large number before he died, probably to prevent them from falling into other hands; he may also have wished to conceal the amount of preparation behind his major works.

"Michelangelo (1475-1564) was one of the most influential and admired artists of the Italian Renaissance. His creativity extended from works of sculpture and paintings to architecture and poetry. Central to all of Michelangelo's artistic output were his drawings, in which his creative ideas were evolved and perfected. Illustrated chronologically through this book are outstanding examples from the British Museum, ranging from unfinished sketches to exquisitely refined studies. They give an incredible insight into the artist's thought processes as he developed such famous works as the Sistine chapel ceiling and the Last Judgement. With an essay outlining Michelangelo's life and key works, this small book is essential introduction to the drawings of this undisputed Renaissance genius."--BOOK JACKET.

"Michelangelo was one of the most creative and admired artists of the Italian Renaissance, famous for his work as a sculptor, painter, architect and poet. But his genius can only truly be appreciated outside Italy through his work as a draughtsman. This book, written to accompany a major exhibition, combines the finest works from three outstanding collections of his drawings in the British Museum, London, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and the Teyler Museum, Haarlem, to tell the story of Michelangelo's extraordinarily long and active life." "An introductory chapter discusses Michelangelo's contemporary fame, his training and choice of drawing technique, and the role of drawing in the genesis of his works. The following chapters move chronologically through the important projects that dominated his long career, illustrating how his ideas evolved in the creation of his most celebrated works, including the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the Last Judgement and the Medici chapel in Florence. The sequences of drawings that he developed give an unparalleled insight into Michelangelo's creative process, revealing how the perfection of the finished piece was arrived at only after detailed preparation. Through these accompanying drawings - from sketchy first ideas to exquisitely refined and sensual studies of individual figures - the full spectrum of his artistic activities is revealed." "From pen studies made when Michelangelo was in his early twenties to the visionary Crucifixion scenes carried out shortly before his death over six decades later, this book testifies to the fundamental importance of drawing in the work of this great Renaissance master."--BOOK JACKET.
