Ascanio Condivi Author

Ascanio Condivi (c. 1525-1574), from the Marchigian town of Ripatransone, was a moderately talented painter, sculptor and architect, remembered today chiefly for this biography of his friend Michelangelo. This edition of Condivi's Life is introduced by Charles Robertson, who teaches in the History of Art Department of Oxford Brookes University and has published a number of studies on Italian Renaissance art and architecture. Judgement Call, his book on Michelangelo's Last Judgement, will be published by Pallas Athene in 2006.
