Michelangelo’s Art and Restless Life
Diane Stanley’s biography introduces Michelangelo through both his artistic achievements and the conflicts that shaped his working life. The book traces a figure active across sculpture, painting, and architecture during the late Renaissance, while giving particular attention to his demanding relationship with Pope Julius II. That long association encompasses the Sistine Chapel paintings as well as the troubled, decades-long effort to complete a monumental tomb. Michelangelo’s pursuit of perfection, disputes with patrons, and strained personal relationships place the art within the pressures of its creation. Detailed illustrations accompany the account, making this a compact portrait of an artist whose work and ambitions extended across several forms.

With her thoroughly researched, lively narrative and superbly detailed illustrations, Diane Stanley has captured the life of the artist Michelangelo, who towered above the late Renaissance--and whose brilliance in architecture, painting, and sculpture amazes and moves us to this day.
Michelangelo had a turbulent, quarrelsome life. He was obsessed with perfection and felt that everyone--from family members to his demanding patrons--took advantage and let him down. His long and difficult association with Pope Julius II yielded his greatest masterpiece, the radiant paintings in the Sistine Chapel, and his most disastrous undertaking, the monumental tomb that caused the artist frustration and heartache for forty years.
