Considered one of the masters of the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) produced the finest frescoes and many of the most revered sculptures in the world. He was renowned for his fierce solitude, yet was one of the great chroniclers of the human form.This letter, written in Michelanglo's own hand, demonstrates with every stroke of the pen the refinement and passion of one of the greatest artists humanity has produced. And with the Sistine Chapel's The Creation of Adam featured on the back cover, the point of creation beautifully bookends this Embellished Manuscript notebook.
