I read that I.F. Stone book.

They made a movie of it in 1964. They could not possibly ever have replicated the story in dramatization, but I purchased the DVD anyhow.

Michelangelo was a remarkable person and that is evident by just what he left behind.

Imagine, staring at stone or marble for days watching how it reflects sunlight and tolerates the impact of Light, before even approaching it with chisels and hammer. So freaking cool.

And spending days in the Catholic dead room performing autopsies on the dead bodies so he could get his sculptures exactly right.
