'Michelangelo: A Life In Six Masterpieces' By Miles J. Unger

    Among the immortals—Leonardo, Rembrandt, Picasso—Michelangelo stands alone as a master of painting, sculpture, and architecture.

He was not only one of the greatest artists in an age of giants, but a man who reinvented the practice of art itself. Throughout his long career he clashed with patrons by insisting that he had no master but his own demanding muse and promoting the novel idea that it was the artist, rather than the lord who paid for it, who was creative force behind the work.

Journalist and Historian Miles Unger inspects his life through six iconic works in his new book: Michelangelo: A Life in Six Masterpieces.
