ARTNEWS
By Ann Landi
PUBLISHING---In the last few years, a couple of biographies have followed the fortunes of the young Michelangelo, but this one tells the story of the rough-spun genius from his youthful days in the garden of the Medici to his death in Rome at the age of 89. Loosely structured around six of the artist’s greatest triumphs, Unger’s account covers all the touchstones in Michelangelo’s life: the precocious forgery that brought him to Rome, his squabbles with Pope Julius II, and the rivalries with Raphael and Leonardo. Unger is an astute critic and an able storyteller; his remapping of familiar territory should please both readers new to Michelangelo and those who think they know him inside out.
