When he was a little boy in 15th-century Florence, Michelangelo wondered at the incredible sculptures and paintings created by the city's many artists.

Read the story of his apprenticeship and his early struggles for work and money. See how he realized his dreams and went on to carve the world's most famous sculpture, "David," and paint the world's most famous ceiling, in Rome's Sistine Chapel. Discover the Renaissance through the eyes of one of the greatest artists who ever lived. Book jacket.
