I love Michelangelo's work. He was an amazing painter, sculptor, and architect. No other artist has that claim. Plus there is a wonderful tension in his art: epitomizing the very struggle of life itself. It is this that resounds through the ages.

As usual, the reviewer reads more into the work than the creator intended.
Otherwise, it was an excellent read. Thanks, RP.

Michaelangelo is not important. What is important is what comes through Michaelangelo, the endless streams of qualities and attributes that we relate to, the profoundity of expression for the worldly and unworldly. Michaelangelo holds a mirror up to the natural and supernatural and the frailty of his flesh never gets in the way. Compared to Beethoven, we don't have all the near misses, a notebook of imperfect possibilities and many drafts; rather there is perfection in everything. Like a jazz musician there is never a wrong note, only endless variations on life even amongst the simple throw away sketches. This leads me to conclude that there never was a Michaelangelo the artist, only the person in the guise of greatness for whom the greatness act through within a visible medium.

He was an amazing painter, sculptor, and architect. No other artist has that claim. How about Da Vinci?
