"Michael Angelo Buonarroti" by Charles Holroyd is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a biography of the renowned Renaissance artist Michael Angelo, detailing his life and creations, drawing heavily from the contemporary accounts of his pupils and colleagues, particularly focusing on the Life by Ascanio Condivi. The text likely explores Michael Angelo’s upbringing, his early influences, and his rise to prominence as a master of sculpture and painting. The opening of the book provides an insightful introduction to Michael Angelo's lineage, upbringing, and early aspirations in the arts. It discusses his family background, particularly noting his noble descent, and presents his initial struggles with familial expectations regarding his education in letters rather than art. As he grows, the narrative illustrates his insatiable passion for art and the moment he chooses to pursue a career as an artist, despite resistance from his father. By the end of this section, readers are treated to Michael Angelo’s formative experiences that cultivate his skills and passion for sculpture and painting, setting the stage for his future masterpieces.
