lo scrittoio di Michelangelo il Giovane

Italian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature bio of an artist

The Young Michelangelo
Making and Meaning: The Young Michelangelo is the fullest account ever made of Michelangelo's early work - as a painter as well as a sculptor - during the period of his first stay in Rome.
