This work examines Michelangelo Buonarroti's life and achievements before age thirty, highlighting his iconic sculptures David and Pieta. It features texts and images showcasing his paintings, sculptures, drawings, and architectural plans.
Noch bevor er das Alter von 30 Jahren erreichte, hatte Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) bereits die Pietà und den David gemeißelt, zwei der berühmtesten Skulpturen der gesamten Kunstgeschichte. Die Leistungen dieses italienischen Meisters sind einzigartig – kein Künstler vor oder nach ihm schuf jemals ein solch gewaltiges, facettenreiches und weitreichendes Werk. Als Michelangelo 1564 starb, galt er bereits als nationales Heiligtum. Seine Werke sollten eine beispiellose Wirkung auf die europäische Kunst der kommenden Jahrhunderte entfalten. Dieses Buch stellt die Gemälde, Skulpturen und Bauten Michelangelos in einem bislang ungekannten Ausmaß vor. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei den monumentalen Fresken in der Sixtinischen Kapelle . Ganzseitige Reproduktionen und Ausschnittvergrößerungen ermöglichen es, feinste Details aus dem Repertoire des Florentiner Ausnahmekünstlers zu studieren. Der begleitende Essay zeichnet das Leben eines mal zornigen, mal melancholischen Einzelgängers nach, der zum „göttlichen“ Künstler-Souverän aufstieg und das Verständnis von der Rolle des Künstlers in der Gesellschaft für immer veränderte. Drei Kataloge zu den Gemälden, den Skulpturen und der Architektur Michelangelos setzen sich umfassend und kritisch mit der Forschung zu Michelangelo auseinander.

Influenced by his contemporaries Michelangelo and Leonardo, Raphael Santi (1483-1520) became, in his own right, one of the most important artists of the High Renaissance. Though Raphael painted many important works in his Florence period, including his famous Madonnas, it was his mature work in Rome that cemented his place in history, most notably the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican featuring his School of Athens and Triumph of Religion murals. This overview traces the life's work of this Renaissance master who achieved the height of greatness in only two decades of creation and whose influential work paved the way for the Mannerist and Baroque movements.
