"[
Michelangelo, God’s Architect] paints a complex portrait of this tortured and talented Renaissance man and excavates a lesser-known but crucial final chapter of the artist’s approximately 75-year career….[An] extremely readable, engaging book. –Lauren Moya Ford, Hyperallergic"
"
Michelangelo, God’s Architect represents the culmination of a career dedicated almost entirely to this single, engrossing figure. . . . Wallace’s book is a model of deep scholarship brought to life with lively prose through the integration of sixteenth century documents on almost every page. . . . A rollicking good story."
---Cammy Brothers, Journal for the Society of Architectural Historians
