Summary:

"The exhibition which this catalogue by Professor Michael Hirst illustrates is being shown at the National Gallery of Art in Washington and later at the Louvre in Paris. It too is a step in the investigation and search for knowledge, and offers a further contribution to the study of Michelangelo's drawings. But let me also say that the beauty, the intensity and the deep pathos of the drawings are themselves a testimonial greatness, quite apart from the significance of the exhibition for scholars. These are drawings, which even among the non-specialist public, cannot fail to arouse that profound emotion which can only be stirred by great art, the revelation of human genius at work in one of it's great manifestations."--Carlo de Benedetti unnumbered page VII.
