Items related to The Sonnets
Michelangelo's poems in this text range from words of thanks to arguments - they flatter patrons, address lovers, and address God. They reflect on art and on his physical and metaphysical studies.

Synopsis:
78 sonnets by the sculptor and painter, Michelangelo, also an avid poet, are collected here, each presented with English translation alongside the Italian text. They reveal his preoccupation with his art, his struggle to reconcile a Platonic sense of the beauty of the human form and of all material things as a revelation of the soul within and the Christian sense of sin he remembered in the sermons of Savonarola and the poetry of Dante.
