reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


For anyone who has been to Carrara, or Italy at all, or is interested in sculpture, this is a very interesting book about the art of marble sculpting as well as the life and times of Michelangelo. It talks about the history as well as present-day, and includes some very interesting facts about the marble workers. It also goes into very interesting detail about how Michelangelo bought,transported and worked the marble.
