schema:abstract ""A record of the history and conservation of Michelangelo's Tomb for Pope Julius II, written by principal members of the team of art historians and conservators who led the 1998-2003 restoration project"--Provided by publisher."@en
"In 1505 Michelangelo began planning the magnificent tomb for Pope Julius II, which would dominate the next forty years of his career. Repeated failures to complete the monument were characterized by Ascanio Condivi, Michelangelo's authorized biographer, as "the tragedy of the tomb." This definitive book on the subject thoroughly documents the art of the tomb and each stage of its long and often fraught history, including its most recent restoration. It was edited by Christoph Luitpold Frommel, one of the field's foremost scholars, who also acted as the lead consultant on the restoration campaign and wrote the book's main essay. New post-restoration photography reveals the beauty of the tomb overall, its individual statues, and its myriad details. Alongside its in-depth handling of the monument, this volume traces Michelangelo's stylistic development over the course of his work on the tomb; documents the dialogue between the artist and his great friend and exacting patron, Julius II (who died long before the work was finished); unravels the complicated relationship between the master and his assistants, who executed large parts of the design; and sheds new light on the importance of Neoplatonism in Michelangelo's thinking, an influence that greatly shaped the tomb's most famous statue, the Moses, as well as the work as a whole. A rich trove of documents in the original Latin and archaic Italian - many previously unpublished - relates the story firsthand through letters, contracts, and other records covering Michelangelo's travels, the purchase of the marble, the concerns that arose as work progressed, and numerous disagreements and negotiations. The book also includes catalogues of fifteen sculptures designed for the tomb and more than eighty related drawings, in addition to an extensive and up-to-date bibliography. -- from dust jacket."@en
