The correspondence of Michel-Angelo Buanarotti and the life of the master, written by his student Ascanio Condivi. Translated by Margarita Pavlinova. Ed. Rosehip, St. Petersburg, 1914
It can be explained by a simple accident that Russian fiction was simultaneously enriched by two books dedicated to Michelangelo - a grandiose edition of The Day to Come and a translation of the book. Correspondences. great master... However, it is possible to assume some "soil" cause "demand" Michelangelo. After the era of aspirations for sophistication and sophistication, aspirations, in essence, spiritual-wingless, in Russian artistic thought, the opposite trend was to be born - the desire for pathos and strength. Here, of course, one of the first to whom our eyes turn is Michelangelo.But if so, if the increased attention to the work of Michelangelo is a direct consequence of important changes in the national understanding of art, then the requirements for Russian books about the Florentine genius should be increased. We would like books not only well-published, as given, but not being, at the same time, A valuable contribution to Russian sources for Michelangelo’s students. Why in a book published "The rosehip", placed only the correspondence of the master, and not all of his I don't know. Oh, and me?
The very idea of the book and its execution are in undoubted proximity to the famous French edition.L’oeuvre litteraire de michelange traduite par Boyer d’Agen. Paris, Librairie Ch. Delagrave. The Russian publishing house, having excluded Michelangelo’s poetic works from its book, violated the most and books. We don't have Russian. I don't think so. A collection of the entire literary heritage of the great poet-artist, but only his correspondence published for some reason separately. Stays. I hope that this same publishing house, or something else, will fill an important gap in the Russian literature about Michelangelo and publish his sonnets. In the French edition just mentioned, sonnets are given only in prose translation. It seems to us more successful to publish them in two parallel texts: the original and the translation, as was already done in another old French edition of 1826:oesie de Michel -Ange Buonarroti .
