Excellence & Loneliness

PDJ· Sep 26, 2026

“For excellent painters are not unsociable from pride, but either because they find few minds capable of the art of painting or in order not to corrupt themselves with the vain conversation of idle persons and degrade their thoughts from the intense and lofty imaginings in which they are continually rapt.”

-Francisco de Holanda (also spelled Hollanda) in his Dialogues in Rome (Diálogos em Roma), part of Da Pintura Antiga.

These were published in 1548 and describe discussions that took place in 1538 at the convent of San Silvestro in Rome, with Vittoria Colonna and others present.

Michael Angelo Buonarroti by Charles Holroyd

"Michael Angelo Buonarroti" by Charles Holroyd is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a biography of the renowned Renaissance artist Michael Angelo, detailing his life and creations, drawing heavily from the contemporary accounts of his pupils and colleagues, particularly focusing on the Life by Ascanio Condivi. The text likely explores Michael Angelo’s upbringing, his early influences, and his rise to prominence as a master of sculpture and painting. The opening of the book provides an insightful introduction to Michael Angelo's lineage, upbringing, and early aspirations in the arts. It discusses his family background, particularly noting his noble descent, and presents his initial struggles with familial expectations regarding his education in letters rather than art. As he grows, the narrative illustrates his insatiable passion for art and the moment he chooses to pursue a career as an artist, despite resistance from his father. By the end of this section, readers are treated to Michael Angelo’s formative experiences that cultivate his skills and passion for sculpture and painting, setting the stage for his future masterpieces.
