Michelangelo

1999, hardcover, 194pp, mooi exemplaar, in bijbehorende hardcase, 29x25cm

Michelangelo's "Three Pieta", now in Rome, Florence and Milan are introduced in this volume and captured in their entirety and close-up in various photographs. The St Peter's "Pieta" reflects the classical ideals of the Renaissance: calm and order. Traces of expressive drama appear in the "Pieta" of Santa Maria del Fiore, culminating in the unfinished Rondanini "Pieta", a tormented figure reflecting the artist's religious anxiety.
