NOTE: THIS IS a DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. Michelangelo, instinctively and on principle, reacted against the decorative methods of the fifteenth century. If he had to paint a biblical or mythological subject, he avoided landscapes, trees, flowers, birds, beasts, and subordinate groups of figures. He eschewed the arabesques, the labyrinths of foliage and fruit enclosing pictured panels, the candelabra and gay bands of variegated patterns, which enabled a quattrocento painter, like Gozzoli or Pinturicchio, to produce brilliant and harmonious general effects at a small expenditure of intellectual energy.Symonds, John Addington is the author of 'Life of Michelangelo Buonarotti', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419269783 and ISBN 141926978X.
