About This Book

This collection reproduces fifteen principal works and a portrait with an introductory essay and interpretive notes that survey the artist's methods, themes, and historical context. Plates range from Madonnas, David, Cupid, Moses, and the Pietà to figures from the Sistine ceiling, the Last Judgment, and the Medici tombs, arranged to move the reader from familiar subjects to more abstract pieces. The introduction emphasizes the artist's terribilità, his emphasis on the human body and decisive moments of action, his sculptural techniques including unfinished surfaces, and offers bibliographic guidance, a historical outline, and a pronouncing vocabulary for proper names.
