Michelangelo's place in the world of art is altogether unique. His supremacy is acknowledged by all, but is understood by a few only. In the presence of his works none can stand unimpressed, yet few dare to claim any intimate knowledge of his art.

Year by year there are more who, drawn by the strange fascination of his genius, seek to read the meaning of his art.
