About this title

Review:

"Anthony Hughes has written a lucid account of Michelangelo's career. It would be difficult to imagine a better introduction to the man and his work than this."―Bruce Boucher, Department of the History of Art, University College London

"An excellent, single volume introduction to Michelangelo that successfully integrates history and social context with sensitive analysis of the master's art."―William E Wallace, Professor of Art History, Washington University, St Louis

On the Art & Ideas series

"Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing."―Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London

"The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods... I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools."―Joachim Pissarro, Yale University

"Phaidon's series may prove to be the pick of the crop. It boasts expert but undogmatic texts and a wealth of illustrations."―The Sunday Telegraph
