George Bull Livres

Beginning with Cimabue and Giotto in the thirteenth century, Vasari traces the development of Italian art across three centuries to the golden epoch of Leonardo and Michelangelo. Great men, and their immortal works, are brought vividly to life, as Vasari depicts the young Giotto scratching his first drawings on stone; Donatello gazing at Brunelleschi's crucifix; and Michelangelo's painstaking work on the Sistine Chapel, harassed by the impatient Pope Julius II. The Lives also convey much about Vasari himself and his outstanding abilities as a critic inspired by his passion for art.

Focusing on the life of Michelangelo, this biography by George Bull delves into the artist's personal relationships and emotional depth, revealing a man beyond his renowned artworks. It explores his friendships and rivalries with family, fellow artists, and influential figures of his time, painting a nuanced picture of a complex personality. Bull highlights Michelangelo’s spiritual quest and the intense emotional power he conveyed in his work, offering insight into the life of a towering genius whose impact continues to resonate.
