"Pereda teases apart legend and history, thereby bringing an important artist and his exceptionally well-crafted work to vivid life. This is a well-told tale, enriched by generous discussions of topics tangential yet relevant to understanding Torrigiano's place and contribution to the spreading geography of Renaissance art." --W. E. Wallace Choice, " The Man Who Broke Michelangelo's Nose is one of the most delightful books about Renaissance art and culture that I have read over the years. It is informed by an intellectual creativity that one rarely finds in the art-historical literature. Once I started reading, I could not put it down." --Paul Barolsky, author of A Brief History of the Artist from God to Picasso, "This sparkling and at the same time profoundly scholarly book brings to life the great Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano, who was active in sixteenth-century Florence, England, and Spain. Torrigiano's fiery youthful encounter with Michelangelo sets the tone of this lively art-historical account, vividly evoking Torrigiano's dynamic temperament and his own artistic genius." --Marjorie Trusted,Victoria and Albert Museum, " The Man Who Broke Michelangelo's Nose is a timely and compellingly crafted story of Torrigiano's opus and life that should be read generously and critically. It will be useful to early modern art historians and historians of exchanges across the Mediterranean, among other scholars and art enthusiasts." --Dijana Omeragic Apostolski Renaissance and Reformation, "This sparkling and at the same time profoundly scholarly book brings to life the great Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano, who was active in sixteenth-century Florence, England, and Spain.

Synopsis
Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano has long held a place in the public imagination as the man who broke Michelangelo's nose. Indeed, he is known more for that story than for his impressive prowess as an artist. This engagingly written and deeply researched study by Felipe Pereda, a leading expert in the field, teases apart legend and history and reconstructs Torrigiano's work as an artist. Torrigiano was, in fact, one of the most fascinating characters of the sixteenth century. After fighting in the Italian wars under Cesare Borgia, the Florentine artist traveled across four countries, working for such patrons as Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands and the Tudors in England. Toriggiano later went to Spain, where he died in prison, accused of heresy by the Inquisition for breaking a sculpture of the Virgin and Child that he had made with his own hands. In the course of his travels, Torrigiano played a crucial role in the dissemination of the style and the techniques that he learned in Florence, and he interacted with local artisanal traditions and craftsmen, developing a singular terracotta modeling technique that is both a response to the authority of Michelangelo and a unique testimony to artists' mobility in the period. As Pereda shows, Torrigiano's life and work constitute an ideal example to rethink the geography of Renaissance art, challenging us to reconsider the model that still sees the Renaissance as expanding from an Italian center into the western periphery., Explores the life and work of the Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano, disentangling legend from history in his life story and reconstructing his work as an artist and in particular as a sculptor.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
