Michelangelo
Description
Michelangelo by Howard Hibbard. 'Michelangelo is perhaps the most famous artist who ever lived and arguably the greatest. 1975 sees the five-hundredth anniversary of his birth, 500 years over which legend has helped make him more a figure of fiction than of fact. His fame depends too much on fictionalized biography with its distorted reports of his private life, and on an inadequate knowledge of his work, much of it unknown to the general public. This is a situation which Professor Hibbard's new biography effectively remedies. A work such as his, skilled, reliable, and - not the least of its virtues - manageable, is long overdue; it deserves to be essential reading for everyone with an interest in Michelangelo.' The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with rubbing along the edges and light sun fade on the spine. The book remains tight and bright.
