By amassing a wealth of often little-known contemporary sources combined with a new way of looking at Michelangelo’s art, Kleinbub makes us reconsider what the human body meant to Michelangelo and his public—and to us. This book is a must-read for everyone interested in early modern art, poetry, and medicine.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Joost Keizer,author of \u003ci\u003eThe Realism of Piero della Francesca\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“It is rare when a book offers a fundamentally new way of considering the artist.

Kleinbub’s intelligent discussion helps to explain unusual gestures, poses, and other compositional details in Michelangelo’s art and also adds new layers of meaning to the specific works he considers. Particularly admirable are Kleinbub's close study of a great number of texts, as well as the resultant nuanced readings of Michelangelo’s sculpture, painting, and architecture.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—J.
