Sweetness and Strength: The Reception of Michelangelo in Late Victorian England

By Lene Ostermark-Johansen

This text explores the reinvention of Michelangelo in the Victorian era. At the opening of the 19th century, Michelangelo's reputation rested on the evidence of contemporary adulation recorded by Vasari and Condivi. Travel, photography, the shift of his drawings into public collections, and the publication of his poems in their original form, transformed this situation.
