Michelangelo: The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture

Great Book. A must have for art enthusiasts.

Book was larger than I thought, and it has fold-outs as well. Definitely worth the money if you are interested in Michelangelo and his art.

I read it.,

This is a beautifully produced book. The text is informative. The art reproduction, particularly of The Sistine Chapel Ceiling, is spectacular.If you've had the opportunity to travel to Italy, and view Michelangelo's beautiful works of art in person, you'll appreciate the reproduced works of arts, the accompanying photographs and text. If you haven't seen these works of art in person, you will also enjoy this book.You will see and understand the Sistine Chapel Ceiling's panels better than when actually standing in the Chapel itself as the panels are a long way up from where you stand and the lighting in the Chapel is fairly dark. You can really see the Sistine Chapel paintings in a way like no other in this wonderful book.The seller, Little Guy Books, provided excellent (and fast) service for this product.

I bought this book to go along with the author's course from the Learning Company (Great Courses) and found it a wonderful supplement to that course. Standing alone it is an excellent overview of the breadth of Michaelangelo's career as artist. The plates are marvelous and having seen much of his work in Italy it brought back many fond memories and I learned more than I expected both from the course and the book. It is more than a one time through table top book. Anyone with interest in the subject I think would find this a valuable resource and bring many hours of pleasurable reading and viewing. For those who have the course from the Learning Company you will find that the book follows the course so you can easily use both resources at once.

This is a wonderful coffee table book! It's large, but it has pictures of all Michelangelo's many contributions. He was a genius and no one even comes close. I have gone to Europe just to trace all of his works. I have taken the course,"The Genius of Michelangelo" by William E. Wallace. This book just follows it completely. I am going back to Italy this fall primarily just to view the works of Michelangelo. He was a genius! And so is William E. Wallace, who has devoted his life to studying Michelangelo. Any book about Michelangelo by William E. Wallace is a treasure! And I have them all! You can't go wrong purchasing a book about Michelangelo written by William E. Wallace!

Love the book. The pages are good quality and i like the content as well. Read it every now and then while having tea/coffee. The book is big so you will need to set it on a table to read it but worth it :)

It's hard to believe that I bought to 5-star books on Michelangelo. I did. And not by mistake. I wanted to learn more about a fairly obscure sculpture that Michelangelo did and which I wrote a college paper in architecture school 50 years ago. I thought I learned everything when I wrote the paper, but the brief commentary about the sculpture in these books suggests I've either forgotten a lot or didn't research it as well as migrate suggested. The pix and the copy are great. I intend to read the whole book when I have the time.
