Who's Who in Medieval History and the Renaissance?

Excellent and thorough list of resources about Michelangelo, from About's Medieval History Guide.

Mark Harden's Artchive - Michelangelo

Mark never ceases to amaze with the depth and breadth of his site. Here he offers a long piece on our guy Michelangelo, with scads of image files of his work. There's even a link to a free demo of a Sistine Chapel screensaver.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni

Emil Kren and Daniel Marx's Web Gallery of Art outdoes itself in this biography. The hyperlinks in the text lead to images of Michelangelo's works, with further information on individual pieces. There are even options to send the images as postcards. Simply marvelous, if you ask me.
