But his art was made to be viewed in churches, homes and political settings, by people who brought their own needs and expectations to his work. Paintings and sculptures were rarely seen in isolation; instead they were seen as part of rituals and ceremonies. Viewers of Michelangelo's time would experience the work under specific lighting conditions and from particular positions. They would move through spaces and past sculpture, and they might make comparisons to other objects nearby. In this engaging book, Bernadine Barnes brings together new research to show how Michelangelo's art was seen in its own time. The original setting is reconstructed for works that have been moved, modified or left incomplete. Michelangelo's consideration of his audience changed throughout his career: sometimes he produced work for conventional religious settings, and at other times he was given unprecedented freedom by open-minded patrons. 505 0 $a Introduction -- The artist in search of an audience -- The heroic body -- visions of majesty: projects for Pope Julius -- Power and illusion: commissions for the Medici -- Painting the visionary experience: frescoes for Pope Paul III -- Love, desire and politics: works for private viewers -- Vision and space: Michelangelo's Roman architecture -- Last works -- Conclusion. 600 00 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 00 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564. 600 07 $a Michelangelo $c Buonarroti $d 1475-1564 $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)118582143 600 07 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00064395 600 06 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 06 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x AppreÌciation. 600 06 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x Critique et interpreÌtation. 650 0 $a Artists $z Italy $v Biography. 650 7 $a Rezeption $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4049716-1 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Renaissance lives. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E61D2136F5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
