Known for his strong and muscular nudes, his precise anatomical drawings and beautiful androgynous figures, it is well known that Michelangelo also expressed interest in the male body on a more personal level. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is the first to carefully explore the male body in the work and life of Michelangelo. Renowned art historians address the topic from different angles: from the influence of anatomical studies and Classical Antiquity on his work, his adoration of the body of Christ, his adherence to Neoplatonic ideas of perfection and beauty, to his personal preference for the young male body and the exceptional artworks this resulted in.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKlazina Botke\u003c\/b\u003e is Guest Curator at Teylers Museum \/Lecturer Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and specializes in Art Patronage in Florence (1500-1700) and Early Modern Prints and Drawings. \u003cb\u003eTerry van Druten\u003c\/b\u003e is Chief Curator of Art Collections at Teylers Museum in Haarlem, The Netherlands. \u003cb\u003eMartin Gayford\u003c\/b\u003e studied philosophy at Cambridge, and art history at the Courtauld Institute of London University.
