About this audiobook
There is no doubt that Michelangelo is one of the most influential artists of all time, together with some other Renaissance geniuses such as Leonardo and Rafael. Michelangelo had a vision, a dream, and the talent to carry out those imaginations. His life, in our perspective, is a compilation of great works of art, architecture, sculptures, paintings, and intricate movements, contrast, colors, and anatomy of the human body. Religious and thematic symbolism are intertwined in his frescos and structures. Each year, millions of tourists admire his works.
Let us learn more about this great artist: What he went through, what he had to put up with, the processes of his artwork, and his own convictions and philosophies that kept him moving forward.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not too shabby. In fact, I would almost say that it's top-notch. I am trying to say something negative about this audio book, but I can't. It's simply too good. So without any further exaggeration, I simply think everybody should think about listening to it. I've noticed that some books are practically trash, and that grieves me. On the other hand this particular audiobook didn't follow that pattern. It's actually really good. So, I love it.
