Reviews

How did individuals and society at large respond to Michelangelo s art? This is the central question explored in Barnes s refreshingly original examination of Michelangelo s life, works, and varied audiences. Barnes leaves aside the heroic but fictionalized story of Michelangelo the lone genius to focus on the private individuals and viewing public who were highly attentive to how the artist s creations were seen and displayed, praised and criticized. --William E. Wallace, Washington University
