About This Item
8vo. 230 x 155 mm., [9 ¼ x 6 inches]. viii, 373 pp.. Illustrated with a frontispiece, 8 color plates, and black and white images in the text. Bound in publisher's cloth, with dust jacket. Very good copy.
First edition. Popular history, written after considerable research, telling the story of Michelangelo's relationship with Pope Julius II and the creation of the monumental painting of the Sistine Chapel. King provides a highly colorful picture of Rome during the 16th century, the politics of the papacy with the ducal states of the peninsula, and the competition for great artists enlisted to create art for the popes and patrons of Rome. The focus is on Michelangelo and Julius II but the scope of the work encompasses much of the history of Italy during the first half of the century. (915)
