In the pantheon of Western art no master occupies a higher place than Michelangelo. This collection at the Royal Library at Windsor includes elaborately finished drawings made by the master as gifts for friends or designs for other artists projects. This volume examines twenty-two examples of Michelangelo s draughtsmanship and fifty-one works by his contemporaries and followers demonstrating the impact of an artist ? referred to as divine even in his own lifetime ? on the imagination style and imagery of his era.
