| Summary | "Michelangelo" by Romain Rolland is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life of the renowned Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, exploring his artistic genius, personal struggles, and the historical context that shaped his work. The book likely aims to capture not only Michelangelo's masterpieces but also the profound impact he had on the art world and the tumultuous events of his life. The opening of the book introduces readers to Michelangelo's early years, highlighting his birth in Caprese and his upbringing in Florence. It discusses his family's initial disapproval of his artistic ambitions, specifically his father's disdain for the profession. As Michelangelo navigates his formative years, the text outlines his education under prominent artists like Domenico Ghirlandajo and Bertoldo di Giovanni, signaling the beginning of his artistic evolution. Themes of struggle and determination emerge as Michelangelo grapples with his passion for art amidst familial pressures and societal expectations, setting the stage for his illustrious yet tumultuous career.
