About the book >.>.> This unit has been carefully structured so that you begin by looking at Medici chapel in San Lorenzo with an innocent eye without any informa about dates function meaning patronage or personalities. In the follow sections you begin to compare and to overlay your personal responses to chapel (as an abstract arrangement of texture colour and shape) and y analysis of what is there with the rich historical information which is availa to us about its making. Then you examine the ‘meaning of the scheme a place it in the tradition of funerary art. Finally the unit looks at the significa of the Medici chapel in Michelangelo’s career and at Michelangelo’s sign cance in Italian art of the period. You may be eager to know at once about the dates the function the meani and the patronage of the scheme we are examining. You may be impatient w the first section since I ask you to look very carefully at the illustrations a diagrams of the Medici chapel and simply to think very hard and very sen tively about what you see. Forget about Michelangelo. Forget about the Medi Forget about what the titles of the sculptures might mean (we have to refer them as Night Day Lorenzo Virgin simply for convenience). If you do not ta the opportunity offered in this first section just to look and think you will nev be able to recapture the opportunity to do so with a fresh personal approac once you have read the later sections.
