  • Descrição: Michelangelo wrote next to nothing about his own art. The few ideas which are now generally regarded as his have mostly been inferred from the indirect evidence of his poetry, from critical analysis of his works, or from statements attributed to him by cinquecento writers. Michelangelo's undeniable solicitude over his place in history, his uniquely exalted reputation, and the awe with which he was regarded by those who knew him ensured the transformation of any of his conversational remarks or offhand judgments into the proverbs and parables that make up the bulk of contemporary lore about him. As a result, his views have come down to us in a fragmentary and tantalizing state. This is especially true in the case of his architecture. Most of the statements attributed to Michelangelo that have gained acceptance concern painting and sculpture, and although Michelangelo devoted much of his thought and energy to problems of architecture, there is no body of ideas about the art that can be unconditionally associated with his name. A letter to Pope Paul III assigned to Michelangelo supposedly critizing Antonio da Sangallo's design for the cornice of the Palazzo Farnese according to literally applied Vitruvian principles has not eluded suspicion. 1 A second letter treating bilateral symmetry and the correspondences between human anatomy and architecture is the only evidence that James Ackerman considers in the introductory chapter of his monograph on the architecture of Michelangelo; it thus affords him a starting point for the most complete general reconstruction of Michelangelo's "theory of architecture" to date. 2
