In 1505, Michelangelo (14751564) began planning the magnificent tomb for Pope Julius II, which would dominate the next forty years of his career. Repeated failures to complete the monument were characterized by Condivi, Michelangelos authorized biographer, as the tragedy of the tomb. This definitive book thoroughly documents the art of the tomb and each stage of its complicated evolution. Authored by Christoph Luitpold Frommel, who also acted as the lead consultant on the recent restoration campaign, this volume offers new postrestoration photography that reveals the beauty of the tomb overall, its individual statues, and its myriad details.This book traces Michelangelos stylistic development; documents the dialogue between the artist and his great friend and exacting patron Pope Julius II; unravels the complicated relationship between the master and his assistants, who executed large parts of the design; and sheds new light on the importance of neoplatonism in Michelangelos thinking.A rich trove of documents in the original Latin and archaic Italian relates the story through letters, contracts, and other records covering Michelangelos travels, purchase of the marble, and concerns that arose as work progressed. The book also catalogues fifteen sculptures designed for the tomb and more than eighty related drawings, as well as an extensive and uptodate bibliography.
