Diane Stanley's thoroughly researched, lively narrative and superbly detailed illustrations have uncaptured the life of the artist Michelangelo, who stood above the late Renaissance with his brilliance in architecture, painting, and sculpture that continues to amaze and move us today. Michelangelo, known for his turbulent and quarrelsome life, was obsessed with perfection and felt constantly let down by those around him, including family members and demanding patrons. His tumultuous relationship with Pope Julius II resulted in both his greatest masterpiece, the radiant paintings in the Sistine Chapel, and his most disastrous undertaking, the monumental tomb that caused the artist frustration and heartache for forty years. The book has received numerous accolades, including being named Children's Books 2000 by the NY Public Library, Editor's Choice 2000 by Booklist, Lasting Connections 2000 by Book Links, Best Books 2000 by School Library Journal, Top 10 Youth Art Books 2000 by Booklist, and included in the Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies 2001 by the National Council for Social Studies and Child Book Council.
