The book explores the last 30 years of Michelangelo's career, analyzing how the great master used art and faith to explore the shared human experience of aging in a rapidly changing world. This art catalog highlights Michelangelo's creativity in his later years in a way that is both accessible and scholarly. Michelangelo (1475–1564) was one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, more of a collaborator than a myth of the isolated and tormented genius. He maintained a close circle of friends and collaborators, developing collaborative relationships with younger artists, thus maintaining his reputation as he aged. His latest designs offer a powerful insight into his psychology, reflecting his Catholic faith and hope for eternal life. Michelangelo revolutionizes the iconography of religious art, creating significant compositions of the central moments of Christian faith, such as the Crucifixion, the Last Judgment, and the Pietà. Furthermore, he was involved in the design of important sites in Rome, such as the vast reconstruction project of St. Peter's. His role as an architect is explored through beautiful designs that showcase the breadth of his capabilities as a designer. Alongside his major commissions, he created personal designs - re-examining previous compositions to explore poignant Crucifixions that functioned as spiritual meditations offering hope of salvation to an elderly man facing the end of his long life. The book draws on the British Museum's outstanding collection of drawings and explores Michelangelo's relationships and late creativity, transcending today's image of him.
