See the hand on the cover? It's David's hand, and it holds the stone he's going to throw at Goliath. You'll notice the veins too. I'm loving to look at the works of Michelangelo while reading his biography by Irving Stone (appropriate name for the biographer of a sculptor!). Those two books are a perfect combo.
I read this book in conjuction with The Agony and the Ecstasy. It was helpful and fun to look at the works of art the book was referring to. It also showed just how acurate Stone's book is.
After reading it, P and I tore out most of the pictures to frame and use as wall art.
A wonderful collection of my favorite artist's work. A great reference.
