Items related to Young Michelangelo: The Path To The Sistine
We are accustomed to view Michelangelo as the old master of the Sistine Chapel ceiling without considering the long evolution of his genius. Drawing on his ample correspondence and banking records, this ground-breaking new biography explores the first 33 formative years of his life. Both erudite and entertaining, it charts the development of a charismatic and tenacious young artist utterly convinced of his own exceptional talent, against the turbulent, dangerous backdrop of Renaissance Florence and Rome.

Review:
'[a] crisply thorough biography' --Christopher Bray --The Express
'Spike Crystallizes historical detail into vivid , memorable imagery...Alternating between accounts of the turbulent political atmosphere and details of Michelangelo's most private moments in the sculpture studio, Spike creates a rich narrative that promises more intrigue than the best adventure novel' --Publishers Weekly
'No art historian has got closer to [Michelangelo] than John T. Spike' Sunday Telegraph 'Michelangelo is a difficult man to like, but impossible to resist. Spike captures his magnetism, his drive and the sheer scale of his ambition.' --Sarah Bakewell, Sunday Times. 'Tense and agile as an early sculpture, YOUNG MICHELANGELO is a compelling portrait of the artist as a young man in a dangerous time.' --Peter Robb, Author of M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio
