Michelangelo and Sebastiano
New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Michelangelo (1475–1564) and Sebastiano del Piombo (1485–1547) first met in Rome in 1511, shortly after Sebastiano’s arrival from his native Venice and as Michelangelo was finishing the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The two artists became close friends and collaborators until they clashed over the painting of The Last Judgement (1541). Comprising essays and commentary on 55 works, this catalogue explores the artistic partnership of two Renaissance masters and their shared preoccupation with depicting death and resurrection.
Product information
Full publisher description
The first publication to consider the relationship between these two major artists of the High Renaissance
Through most of Michelangelo's working life, one of his closest colleagues was the great Venetian painter Sebastiano del Piombo (1485 -1541). The two men met in Rome in 1511, shortly after Sebastiano's arrival from his native city, and while Michelangelo was based in Florence from 1516 to 1534 Sebastiano remained one of his Roman confidants, painting several works after partial designs by him. This landmark publication is about the artists' extraordinary professional alliance and the friendship that underpinned it. It situates them in the dramatic context of their time, tracing their evolving artistic relationship through more than three decades of creative dialogue.
Matthias Wivel and other leading scholars investigate Michelangelo's profound influence on Sebastiano and the Venetian artist's highly original interpretation of his friend's formal and thematic concerns. The lavishly illustrated text examines their shared preoccupation with the depiction of death and resurrection, primarily in the life of Christ, through a close analysis of drawings, paintings, and sculpture. The book also brings the austerely beautiful work of Sebastiano to a new audience, offering a reappraisal of this less famous but most accomplished artist.
