great series!
Easy for children to appreciate his work
The young have a grand time with Michelangelo's grand scale The young reader will learn about Michelangelo'sbeginnings in a city near Florence, the brief time he spent as a baby witha family of stonecutters, his years of study at the workshop ofGhirlandaio, his years under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici and hisyears working for Pope Julius II. Michelangelo did things on a grandscale.His "David" of Goliath fame is 16 ft., 10 in. in heightand took 2.5 years to complete.His "Ceiling of the SistineChapel" is 5800 sq. ft. in area and took 4 years to complete.Theyoung when doing an art piece are frequently never able to complete itwithin the allotted time, regardless of the length of the allotted time. It seems there is a reluctance on the young's part to feel it is complete,because it seems there is always some additional work required.They shareMichelangelo's art ethic and will appreciate his dedication. Myfavorite sculpture in the book is Michelangelo's "Pieta,"sculpted in 1498-1499.There is both an expressed fragility to Jesus' bodyand an overwhelming gentle strength in Mary's holding of him.It givestestimony to Michelangelo's complete oneness with the roughness andhardness of marble.The marble was putty in his hands. Venezia'sillustrations are humorous.His narrative is delightfully entertaining. His approach brings the artist within reach of the young.His portrayal ofPope Julius II in the Sistine Chapel offering unsolicited comments onMichelangelo's work jokingly brings to the fore the conflict that existedbetween the two. The size of the book is perfect for smaller hands.Itenables the young to have art within their grasp.Venezia gives thelocations of the paintings and as result if the child lives near one of themuseums or will be near one on vacation, she/he would be able to see theoriginal. This is the 11th in Venezia's "Getting to know theWorld's Greatest Artist" series. He also has a similar series oncomposers.Venezia's back cover illustration ties back to the subject. "Mike found it easy to relate to Michelangelo's painting the SistineChapel ...". The price of the book is well worth paying.The bookcontains the following:Michelangelo's sculptures (5), chapel ceilingfresco (1), chapel wall fresco (1), marble relief (1), dome from buildingplan (1), and sculptures unfinished (2), Venezia's illustrations (7), Others' sculptures (2), frescoes (2) and gilt bronze panel (1).

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (1)
An excellent addition for the Michelangelophile. But what makes this book such a gem is the detailed analysis of the techniques used in the panel paintings.Michelangelo's paintings, like his sculpture, have a unique power, clarity and imaginative force.The panel paintings if anything hint at even greater achievements, but unfortunately only one finished example has come down to us.The latter painting, the _Holy Family_, is one of the most perfect examples of renaissance art, and a tour-de-force of image-making technique.Although this book does not provide direct analysis of that particular painting's technique, in its analysis of other unfinished paintings it provides a great deal of information which illuminates the results Michelangelo achieved in the _Holy Family_ (including a long-needed explosion of the ill-fitting presumption that the smoothly blended forms of the latter were executed in tempera).Well-illustrated. ...
