Taking the significant words and concepts used by Michelangelo and his contemporaries to discuss his art, Summers traces their evolution from classical antiquity through the traditions of philosophy, rhetoric, poetry, and medieval artisanship in order to establish their meaning and interrelation during the Renaissance. "Taking significant words and concepts used by Michelangelo and his contemporaries to discuss his art--among them fantasia, difficultà, facilità, teribilità, ordine, grazia, and novità--David Summers traces their evolution from classical antiquity through the traditions of philosophy, rhetoric, poetry and medieval artisanship in order to establish their meaning and interrelation during the Renaissance. He draws on the wide range of primary and secondary sources surrounding Michelangelo, as well as upon the visual and iconographic evidence provided by his painting, sculpture and architecture."--Cover page 4. , Princeton, [PU: Princeton University Press (Limited Paperback Editions)]<
