Rome

Michelangelo is widely regarded as the greatest artist of all time. In this book authored by Diane Stanley, we get to see several beautiful paintings and learn about Michelangelo’s life, the later years of that period in European history, and his contributions to the field of art in different forms – paintings, sculptures, and architecture – during the Renaissance period. He worked on a marble sculpture of Virgin Mary holding a crucified Jesus in her arms, known as “Pietà”. It was this work that served as the beginning of his fame as an artist. Read this to find out how the young artist rose to fame and what all he accomplished in the renaissance period.
