"""Finalist for the Marfield Prize (The National Award for Arts Writing), Arts Club of Washington"" ""[Michelangelo, God’s Architect] paints a complex portrait of this tortured and talented Renaissance man and excavates a lesser-known but crucial final chapter of the artist’s approximately 75-year career….[An] extremely readable, engaging book. –Lauren Moya Ford, Hyperallergic"" ""Michelangelo, God’s Architect represents the culmination of a career dedicated almost entirely to this single, engrossing figure. . . . Wallace’s book is a model of deep scholarship brought to life with lively prose through the integration of sixteenth century documents on almost every page. . . . A rollicking good story.""---Cammy Brothers, Journal for the Society of Architectural Historians"
