Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Michelangelo: A Record of His Life as Told in His Own Letters and Papers It is now nearly three hundred and fifty years since Michelangelo Buonarroti was laid to rest in Santa Croce at Florence: it is more than that since the first writer, his friend Giorgio Vasari, took up his pen to write an account of his life and works. The theme has proved so vast that it seems to have no limit, for writer after writer has come forward either to sift the old material and set it in a new shape, or to weave new facts into it, until it would seem impossible that yet more remained to be said. There are in existence, however, as all who have studied the subject must know, a vast number of the artist´s letters, contracts, memoranda and miscellaneous papers; and while some of these are to be found scattered here and there through the several English "Lives" of Michelangelo which have been published from time to time, they appear more often than not in a mutilated form and divorced from their context. These invaluable documents - there are four hundred and ninety-five letters, to say nothing of the memoranda and other papers - have practically been used only as a source of information whence dates and facts might be extracted and dressed for the most part in other words according to the requirements of their users, while no attempt has been made hitherto to map out the life of Michelangelo solely by the light of his own writings.
