The Architecture of Michelangelo: With a Catalogue of Michelangelo's Works

Sculptor, painter, poet and architect, the archetype of the inspired genius, Michelangelo revolutionized everything he touched, and nowhere was his influence so profound or so enduring as in architecture. First published in 1961, this revised edition takes into account the most recent research and includes a specially prepared Catalogue of Works. It is a study of Michelangelo's major designs, including among others the Medici chapel, the fortifications of Florence, the Farnese palace, St, Peter's and the Capitoline Hill.
