Description
This volume comprises the fullest and most detailed catalogue of the drawings by and after Michelangelo in the Ashmolean Museum. It is one of the most important collections of drawings by this artist, which also includes drawings after his own by contemporaries that shed light on lost works as well as the artist's reputation and influence during the sixteenth century. The introduction provides a history of Michelangelo's drawings generally and also surveys the various types of drawing practised by Michelangelo and an account of his development as a draughtsman. Most of the drawings in the Ashmolean Museum came from the collection of Sir Thomas Lawrence, and this book contains a detailed appendix that traces the histories of all of the drawings by or after Michelangelo that Lawrence owned, both before he acquired them and after they were dispersed.
Description
"This volume comprises a full and detailed catalogue of drawings by and after Michelangelo in the Ashmolean Museum. The Ashmolean possesses the third largest collection in the world of drawings by Michelangelo - after the Casa Buonarroti and the British Museum - and a rich group of drawings by Michelangelo's pupils and close associates, as well as a number of contemporary copies after drawings by the master that have subsequently been lost. It also houses a significant number of copies, the majority of the sixteenth century, after Michelangelo's works in all media, that shed light on his reputation and influence among his contemporaries and immediate successors."--book jacket.
