More about the book

Michelangelo, renowned primarily for his sculptures, also expressed his artistic prowess through poetry, particularly in his late-life works dedicated to Vittoria Colonna, a widow and poet. Their relationship blossomed when he was sixty-three and she was forty-four, revealing a unique bond that transcended mere romance. The poems focus not on earthly love but on divine love, showcasing Michelangelo's profound emotional depth and spiritual yearnings. This exploration of love adds a lesser-known dimension to his legacy as one of history's greatest artists.
