THE
AGONY
AND
THE
ECSTASY
-
IRVING
STONE
|
The
Agony
and
the
Ecstacy
depicts
Michelangelo's
struggle
to
become
the
embodiment
of
Renaissance
humanism.
In
the
course
of
the
novel
Michelangelo
must
overcome
the
interference
of
his
family,
religious
dogma,
political
intrigue,
papal
patronage,
military
campaigns,
and
artistic
jealousy
to
realize
his
artistic
ambition.
Despite
his
father's
opposition,
twelve-year-old
Michelangelo
becomes
an
apprentice,
first
to
painter
Ghirlandaio
and
then
to
Bertoldo,
a
sculptor,
who
directs
a
school
financed
by
Lorenzo
de'
Medici,
patron
of
Florentine
art.
Michelangelo
quickly
wins
Lorenzo's
esteem,
meets
his
children
(among
Them
two
future
popes,
Giulio
and
Giovanni,
and
Contessina,
his
first
love),
suffers
the
first
of
several
attacks
by
jealous
colleagues
(his
nose
is
broken
by
Trrigiani,
whose
later
appearances
always
threaten
Michelangelo),
and
through
forbidden
dissection
learns
the
anatomy
and
physiology
he
needs.~
