The Complete Work of Michelangelo, published in two volumes by Macdonald in London in 1966, stands as a monumental tribute to one of the most extraordinary figures of the Italian Renaissance—Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564).

The volumes meticulously document his iconic masterpieces—from the awe-inspiring frescoes of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, to the sublime sculptures of David, Pietà, and the Moses, as well as his architectural innovations in St. Peter’s Basilica and the Laurentian Library. Salmi’s editorial vision brings scholarly rigor and interpretive depth to the collection, contextualizing Michelangelo’s work within the broader currents of Renaissance humanism and religious transformation. Richly illustrated with high-quality reproductions and accompanied by insightful commentary, the volumes not only celebrate Michelangelo’s technical brilliance and expressive power but also delve into the psychological and spiritual dimensions of his art. This edition serves both as a scholarly resource and a visual feast, offering readers a profound appreciation of Michelangelo’s genius and his enduring influence on Western art. Whether for historians, artists, or admirers of Renaissance culture, The Complete Work of Michelangelo remains an essential and timeless reference.
