Críticas 'This book is a game-changer. It provides a completely new - and indeed long overdue -integrated interdisciplinary approach to Michelangelo studies. It proves what can be achieved when there is genuine collaboration between internationally-regarded experts in fields as diverse as art history conservation science anatomy and technical archaeology.' Eike Schmidt Director of the Uffizi Florence Reseña del editor Michelangelo (1475-1564) is one of the most important and influential artists in the history of art. Documented as a sculptor who worked in a variety of media his production in bronze has until recently proved elusive. However in 2015 an international team of experts proposed that a pair of stunning male nude figures astride ferocious felines known as the Rothschild bronzes should be ascribed to Michelangelo and dated to the early 1500s. These enigmatic and visually-striking bronze masterpieces are the focal point of this multi-authored interdisciplinary volume which seeks to reassess Michelangelo's work in bronze and contextualise it within the rest of his output. It contains ground-breaking contributions by leading international experts in the field of art history anatomy conservation science and bronze-casting.
