Description:
Michelangelo always said he got his love of sculpture from the stonecutters he knew as a child. His father beat him when he asked to become an artist's apprentice, but the boy persevered, and soon he was astonishing people with the lifelike creations he wrested from marble. Even so, Michelangelo was never satisfied. Obsessed with perfection, he fought with everyone -- including the popes who prized his genius but were as stubborn and demanding as the artist himself. With her thoroughly researched, lively narrative and superbly detailed illustrations, Diane Stanley has created another brilliant addition to her "series of distinguished biographies" (The New York Time).
