| Summary | "Michelangelo" by Estelle M. Hurll is a collection of artistic analyses and interpretations written in the late 19th century. The work showcases fifteen pictures and a portrait of the renowned artist Michelangelo, discussing his unique style and significant contributions to both sculpture and painting. The book provides insights into Michelangelo's character as an artist, the seriousness of his subjects, and the profound messages conveyed through his works. The opening of the book sets the stage with a preface that introduces the intention behind the collection: to present key works of Michelangelo. The introduction emphasizes Michelangelo's extraordinary talent, describing him as an awe-inspiring figure in the world of art, whose works command deep respect and often elude complete comprehension. The opening discusses his style, focusing on the human form as his primary means of expression and highlighting his pursuit of action rather than repose in his sculptures. Overall, the beginning lays a strong foundation for understanding Michelangelo's legacy through an exploration of his unique artistic vision. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
