内容説明

This text explores the reinvention of Michelangelo in the Victorian era. At the opening of the 19th century, Michelangelo's reputation rested on the evidence of contemporary adulation recorded by Vasari and Condivi. Travel, photography, the shift of his drawings into public collections, and the publication of his poems in their original form, transformed this situation. Lene Ostermark-Johansen shows how the critical discussion of the artist's genius and work became irretrievably bound up in contemporary debates about art, religion and gender, and how the Romantic view of art and criticism as self-expression turned the focus from the work of art to the artist himself.
