The Letters of Michelangelo, 1542.

Delve into three letters from Michelangelo in 1542, revealing his deep vexation with simultaneous demands from Pope Paul III and the lingering obligations for Pope Julius II's tomb. The artist details his financial distress, feeling cheated, and his inability to focus on new work until old contracts are resolved. A lengthy postscript also uncovers the tumultuous, long-standing history of the tomb project, marked by disputes, theft, and accusations, highlighting the immense pressures faced by the Renaissance master.
