Exellent Book to Study Sculptures!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

This Book is a good value for sculptors and modelers for studying M's works. Each plate has a short description of each work. This book is a valuable reference to all artists in fine art and digital art. Although the images are B & W it is a must have!!

Amazing Photography

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago

This is an amazing book. The images are huge and extremly detailed. I am a novice sculptor so for me the close up shots of his work are an enormous benifit to my work.

Fabulous Detail

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago

I love this book. It is one of my favorites. For a long time I had been looking for a book on Michelangelo that showed some nice closeups and detail of some of his sculpture work. This book has that. It would add nicely to the collection of any artist interested in Michelango.

Photos galore!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago

This is an excellent resource if you are looking for a comprehensive collection of photos of Michelangelo's works. Text is minimal but concise; the main focus is on the works themselves on page after page of gorgeous black and white photos. The only real drawback is that I would have liked to have seen more color plates of his paintings; there are only a few, focusing on the Sistine Chapel paintings, with close-up details shown in black and white photos.
