| book description |

The first publication to consider the relationship between these two major artists of the High Renaissance Through most of Michelangeloâ€™s working life, one of his closest colleagues was the great Venetian painter Sebastiano del Piombo (1485Ââ€“1541). The two men met in Rome in 1511, shortly after Sebastianoâ€™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 artistsâ€™ 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 Michelangeloâ€™s profound influence on Sebastiano and the Venetian artistâ€™s highly original interpretation of his friendâ€™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.
