Publisher's Summary
This is Irving Stone's powerful and passionate biographical novel of Michelangelo. His time: the turbulent Renaissance, the years of poisoning princes, warring popes, the all-powerful Medici family, the fanatic monk Savonarola. His loves: the frail and lovely daughter of Lorenzo de Medici; the ardent mistress of Marco Aldovrandi; and his last love - his greatest love - the beautiful, unhappy Vittoria Colonna. His genius: a God-driven fury from which he wrested the greatest art the world has ever known. Michelangelo Buonarotti, creator of David, painter of the Sistine ceiling, architect of the dome of St Peter's, lives once more in Irving Stone's marvellous book.

Monumental
Going into it not knowing anything about the subject, having learned about what was an amazing period in human history. As I progressed through I would fact check the events and stories as I was wondering how much creative freedom was there, seemed very accurate.
The performance was top notch, the voice of Michelangelo is exactly how I remember it.
Can not recommend enough for anyone who is into history, art or history of art.
