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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67826271289632,"sku":"NEW0140449566","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61ElK4BvIsL.jpg?v=1792218864","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/poems-and-letters-michelangelo-penguin-classics-0140449566","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
