Michelangelo's Gifts: Art, Love, and Politics in Renaissance Italy

Maria Ruvoldt

"Michelangelo's Gifts tells the story of the artist's most intimate relationships and his deepest political commitments in the last thirty years of his life. This book is the first comprehensive investigation of Michelangelo's gift-giving practices, and argues that his gift-giving was a response to the forces that shaped his career"-- Provided by publisher.
