| Description: |
Originally written as letters, Michelangelo's vehement and energetic sonnets range from formal expressions of thanks to passionate arguments as they flatter patrons, address lovers, cry out to God, and reflect on art and metaphysics. |
| Synopsis: |
Michelangelo's poems are like the letters of other artists: they range from formal words of thanks to passionate arguments; they flatter patrons, address lovers - and God; they reflect on art and on Michelangelo's own physical and metaphysical studies. He wears no masks in these poems. Elizabeth Jennings keeps close to his forms, investing in him her own celebrated skills. As in his sculpture, Jennings remarks, so in the poems, 'the dominating feature is vehement energy, an energy which is mastered by a longing for order.' Painter and sculptor Michael Ayrton contributes an introduction to this edition of the intimate work of one of the greatest artists of all time. |
