本書介紹:
米開朗基羅集雕刻家、詩人、藝術家於一身，是典型文藝復興時代的人文主義者。
雖然如此，同時期雕刻的聖母悼子，卻又充滿清教徒式的思想。當人家質疑聖母太過年輕時，他的回答是：「貞潔的婦女會比較容易保持青春，沒有淫亂鑽進心胸的婦女，身體是不會受多大影響的，我也相信，上帝會用這樣的方式讓她證明自己的貞潔。」
西斯汀禮拜堂天花板的創世紀系列，一樣是在宗教畫中暗指人文主義的精神。 其實整個繪畫過程就是一場激戰與奮鬥。
米開朗基羅說：「我是被迫的，我的藝術是在敵視的環境中成長的。」 因為愛其才的教皇朱力阿斯二世，卻跟他個性相剋水火不容，而米開朗基羅刁鑽難相處的個性，也造成他四面受敵的窘境。
我們會發現，米開朗基羅透過創世紀，幾乎是控訴上帝毀滅與嚴厲的屬性，他宣告毀滅的命運，而不是愛的福音。
首先他繪出上帝創造天地的全能與威嚴，但創造亞當時，上帝與亞當的手若即若離，這已暗示出人類未來的命運。
當亞當夏娃被逐時，夏娃羞慚，可是亞當卻憤怒無比的向逐出他們的天使擺手，彷彿是說，你不要我，我也不要你！
畫大洪水時，米開朗基羅甚至刻意強調人與人之間的互助扶持，用以控訴上帝的嚴厲不近情理沒有愛意。
本書內容:
Before reaching the tender age of thirty, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pieta, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. Like fellow Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo was a shining star of the Renaissance and a genius of consummate virtuosity. Sculptor, painter, architect, and poet, he brought such an unparalleled passion and unique style to his work that his imitators spawned a movement - Mannerism - in their quest to replicate his special touch. His crown achievement, the breathtaking paintings on the altar wall and ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, is seen by millions of visitors each year. Such was his talent that Michelangelo was considered a demigod by his contemporaries and was the subject of two biographies during his lifetime. Adoration of this remarkable man's work has only increased on the intervening centuries. Following the success of our XL title "Leonardo da Vinci", TASCHEN brings you this massive tome that explores Michelangelo's life and work in more depth and detail than ever before. The first part concentrates on the life and work of Michelangelo in text and images; then the main body of the book presents his complete paintings, sculptures, drawings, and architectural plans. Gorgeous, full page reproductions and enlarged details bring readers up close to the works. This is the definitive volume about Michelangelo for generations to come.
