Overview
Learn about the 16th century genius who created some of the most enduring and revered works of art as told through the eyes of his constant companion, Fresca, a Pomeranian. Frenca recounts Michelangelo's early days in Florence, Italy where, at the age of 13, he was selected to apprentice under a famed painter, to being selected by the head of the wealthiest family in Florence to live in his palace and study sculpture. From his move to Rome where he was commissioned by a cardinal to sculpt one of his most famous pieces through his Sistine Chapel masterpiece and his design of the dome at St. Peter's Basilica, Fresca enlightens young readers on the magnificence of this brilliant Renaissance artist. Beautiful chronologically arranged reproductions of many of his sculptures and paintings are featured throughout the book. Content developed for young readers, grades 1-4 (ages 5-8) and is part of the acclaimed Renaissance Accelerated Reader program.
