Charles Robertson Author & Editor

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, former head of the History of Art Department of Oxford Brookes University, who has published a number of studies on Italian Renaissance art and architecture.
