This book is an account of Michelangelo's early work, as a painter as well as a sculptor. The period of his first stay in Rome was a crucial five years in the artist's life when he created, among other works, the marble Bacchus now in the Bargello, Florence, and the celebrated Pieta in St Peter's, Rome, and, as Hirst shows, also began his painting of the Entombment now in the National Gallery, London.
