Description
From Michelangelo's experiments with the composition of pigments made by monks in Florence, to Niccol ̤Machiavelli's defense of Florence against Julius's attacking forces bent on restoring the Medicis to power, Ross King presents a magnificent tapestry of day-to-day life on the ingenious Sistine scaffolding and outside in the upheaval of early-sixtenth-century Italy, as well as uncommon insight into the intersection of art and history.
