The article focuses on the book "Michelangelo Buonarroti," by Georg Brandes. In the foreword to his most recent work, "Michelangelo Buonarroti," Georg Brandes makes the statement that if Michelangelo had never existed he, Brandes, could never have been the man he is. The reviewer, in taking up these two big volumes, as yet available only in Danish, soon becomes aware of the fact that while the thought of Michelangelo may have occupied Brandes from an early youth, there is good and sufficient reason why he waited until now to give concrete shape to his estimate of the great Florentine.
