Michelangelo is generally recognized as one of the greatest artists of all time, a universal genius in all fields of visual creativity - sculpture, painting, and architecture - as well as a widely admired poet. Much has been written on him. This pocket-sized history of Michelangelo's art and life guides readers from "Tondo Doni" (about 1505) to the "Rondanini Pieta" (1564) and teaches them to easily understand his famous works and the less-known masterpieces.
