{"product_id":"poems-letters","title":"Poems \u0026 Letters By Michelangelo","description":"Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is universally celebrated as one of the greatest artists of all time, yet iconic Renaissance creator was also a prolific and gifted poet. The verses collected here are primarily devoted to love and religion. Intense and passionate, the love poems focus on two figures: Tommaso de Cavalieri and Vittoria Colonna; with the sonnets and madrigals dedicated to de Cavalieri revealing a highly charged, homoerotic fervour - previously obscured in the original versions. Michelangelo''s later religious poetry moves away from his earlier wordly concerns, while his letters provide a fasicnating insight into his fanily relations and day-to-day life as a working artist. The result is a revealing picture of one of the towering figures of the Renaissance.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57595233960318,"sku":"NW9780140449563","price":11.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780140449563.jpg?v=1783226111","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/poems-letters","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
