Notes about Michelangelo
Abstract
The article consists of a series of studies concerning the art of Michelangelo, the link between his poetry and sculpture, the problem of the non finito in his late sculptural oeuvres (focusing on Pietà Rondanini), ect. Besides, one of the essays based on the analysis of a number of poems by the Master expounds a theory of his unique perception of his own statues as living creatures. Almost all of the quoted poems by Michelangelo are given in the article’s author’s translation.
