{"product_id":"9780141966755","title":"Poems and Letters: Selections, with the 1550 Vasari Life","description":"Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is universally celebrated as one of the greatest artists of all time, yet iconic Renaissance creator was also a prolific and gifted poet. The verses collected here are primarily devoted to love and religion. Intense and passionate, the love poems focus on two figures: Tommaso de Cavalieri and Vittoria Colonna; with the sonnets and madrigals dedicated to de Cavalieri revealing a highly charged, homoerotic fervour - previously obscured in the original versions. Michelangelo's later religious poetry moves away from his earlier wordly concerns, while his letters provide a fasicnating insight into his fanily relations and day-to-day life as a working artist. The result is a revealing picture of one of the towering figures of the Renaissance.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080677867760,"sku":"9780141966755","price":12.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141966755_p0.jpg?v=1763656348","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141966755","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
