And I must say that at the close of this book, I was so enthralled, that when Michelangelo died I said, "No! You can't go now! You have work to finish!"
Like some other reviewers, I also read this beautiful biography many years after having lived in Italy for 3 years, while in the army. But luckily, while there, I did appreciate the art and I became fluent in Italian.
Read this book to appreciate someone's commitment to do what he was meant to do, regardless of the world events, politics, competition, or community excitement.
Michelangelo died leaving the dome and other great works of art unfinished, that were completed by others, later, all of which still stand several hundred years later.
