A new biography of Michelangelo by Martin Gayford, the acclaimed author of Constable in Love and The Yellow House. At 31 he was considered the finest artist in Italy, perhaps the world; long before he died at almost 90 he was widely believed to be the greatest sculptor or painter who had ever lived (and, by his enemies, to be an arrogant, uncouth, swindling miser). There was an epic sweep to Michelangelo's life.
