Michelangelo's Notebook
Paul Christopher

Onyx, 2005

Quick and Intriguing, not enough to quite satisfy

A Very Good Read

The Sistine Secrets: Michelangelo's Forbidden Messages in the Heart of the Vatican
Benjamin Blech, Roy Doliner

HarperOne, 2008

Much more than a great art discovery
Like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (and the Last Judgment fresco on the wall at the alter end), this book is wonderful at many levels. First, it will help people understand a lot about one of the great philo-Semitic periods of history. Together with Britain in ...

Caravaggio

Abbeville Press, 2007

This is the one.
My library contains many various volumes on the subject of Caravaggio--fiction, biography, fictionalized biography and photo surverys of his works--but if I were allowed only one book on this most extradordinary painter and his life I'd take "Caravaggio" by John T. ...

The Electric Michelangelo (P.S.)
Sarah Hall

Harper Perennial, 2005

Sometimes disturbing, but compelling and emotionally stirring
I couldn't resist this 2005 novel when I heard it was about a tattoo artist. The fact that it was writen by Sara Hall, a Brit born in 1974 and a Booker Prize finalist with a fresh new voice in literature, made it even more appealing. From the very beginning I was ...
