Poems and Letters: Selections with Vasari Life (Penguin Classics)
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is widely recognized as one of the greatest artists of all time, but he was also a talented poet. The poems featured in this collection primarily revolve around themes of love and religion. His love poems, which are intense and passionate, focus on two individuals: Tommaso de Cavalieri and Vittoria Colonna. The sonnets and madrigals dedicated to de Cavalieri reveal a passionate, homoerotic fervor that was not fully appreciated in the original versions.
Michelangelo's later religious poetry diverges from his earlier worldly concerns, offering readers a glimpse into his spiritual evolution. Furthermore, his letters provide valuable insights into his relationships with his family and his daily life as a working artist. Together, these writings paint a vivid portrait of one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance.
