Descrição do livro

The Edinburgh Review, Or Critical JournalThis 19th‑century critical survey threads art, history, religion, and public life through extended reviews. It opens with Michelangelo, tracing his genius across painting, sculpture, and architecture, and analyzes the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment. The discussion emphasizes his handling of large masses, breadth of light and shade, and an epic, rather than dramatic, treatment; it situates his work within medieval symbolism and classical forms, with comparisons to Orcagna and Raphael. Sublime invention, masterful design, and a preference for grandeur over charm are highlighted, along with a tendency to reveal the human form in bold attitudes and a “terribil via” that valorizes monumental form and universal types over individual sentiment. The piece treats patronage by Lorenzo de’ Medici, Julius II, and Leo X, and notes a late‑life religious shift influenced by Vittoria Colonna. A critical appraisal of Harford’s biography praises its integration of philosophy, politics, religion, and art but flags occasional slips and a Protestant bias. It also considers related essays on history, criticism, and national culture, reflecting on the artist’s enduring influence.
