Michelangelo, sculptor, painter, visionary. Told through the eyes of Andrea, his gifted young apprentice, Michael Mullen documents the artist's middle years in Rome - the great successes of the Pieta and the statue of David behind him. Witness the admiration and envy of Michelangelo s peers, the scheming for position, the fierce competition to win commissions, and uneasy politics of the time. From the daunting task of painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to his tormented relationship with Pope Julius II, Mullen deftly documents years of heartache, torment and frustration as the great artist lives destitute and distracted, longing to return to his beloved city of Florence and sculpting.
