About the book

The Sonnets of Michelangelo brings together poetry by Michelangelo Buonarroti, better known as one of the defining artists of the Italian Renaissance. His poems address love, beauty, faith, artistic creation, ageing and mortality, revealing a private and reflective voice behind the sculptor of David and the painter of the Sistine Chapel. The sonnets offer an intimate literary counterpart to Michelangelo's visual art.
