This is an art book covering Michelangelo's sculptures, paintings, and architecture. It's a large and heavy book, but it's packed with content. I'm selling it to art students, members of art clubs, researchers, and anyone who loves "art" in addition to paintings ^_^ It's a bit expensive due to its rarity, but I don't think it will disappoint. The cover has some scratches and fading due to long-term home storage (see images), but the contents are in good condition. ▶︎The Appeal of Michelangelo The appeal of Michelangelo's work is, well, its overwhelming power and god-like skill. First, the "David" statue. This perfect physique, the tension in the muscles, the realism that makes it seem like it could move at any moment. I can't believe it's humanly possible to express so much life in a sculpture. Furthermore, the "Sistine Chapel ceiling". When you look up, a vast universe spreads before you. Especially "The Creation of Adam," the energy of that moment when the fingertips touch is breathtaking. To be able to depict the relationship between God and humans so dramatically in just one painting... you can only be moved. And the ultimate is "The Last Judgment". The flood of human drama that spreads across the entire wall, those who are called to heaven, those who fall to hell, you are overwhelmed by the realism of their expressions and movements! Moreover, Michelangelo even has the stylish touch of secretly including his own face in this work! His works are not just beautiful, but they have the power to hit you with human emotions and souls. Truly "Michelangelo like a god," once you see it, you're sure to be captivated!
