This beautiful book in the "500" series celebrates the extraordinary talent of Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, arguably the most renowned artist of the Italian Renaissance.

500 years ago, he was 46 years old.

He had already completed the Statue of David, the Doni Tondo, the Vatican Pietà, and the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

He would later paint the Last Judgement, the frescoes of the Pauline Chapel, and complete the Tomb of Julius II.

This book celebrates his magisterial accomplishments throughout his lifetime, and includes his less celebrated works, architectural projects, lost works, and attributions.
