<div><b>A new perspective on the brilliance of one of Western art&#8217;s most celebrated visionaries through an esteemed collection of drawings</b><br><br> The works of Michelangelo (1475&#8211;1564) remain an enduring source of awe and fascination more than 500 years after his death. <i>Michelangelo:</i><i>Mind of the Master </i>offers a new context for understanding the drawings of one of art&#8217;s&#160;greatest visionaries. Through a group of drawings held since 1793 in the Teylers Museum and once in the eminent collection of Queen Christina of Sweden (1626&#8211;1689), this book sheds new light on Michelangelo&#8217;s inventive preparations for his most important&#160;commissions in the realms of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Among other works, the volume features preliminary designs for some of the artist&#8217;s best-known projects, including the Sistine Chapel ceiling and the Medici Chapel tombs. Essays in the volume further&#160;explore the history and fate of Michelangelo&#8217;s drawings during his life, as well as the role of Queen Christina and her heirs in amassing a group of drawings that are among the best preserved by the master today.</div>
