Three Titans




«Synopsis» '1930. With portraits. Profiles of Michael Angelo, Rembrandt and Beethoven. From the Preface: Even in their destinies the three masters are comparable, for their characters were essentially akin and so drew down on each a similar fate. They were all, throughout life, misanthropical, enigmatic, distrustful; and at certain periods each approached the borderland of madness. Despite their prodigious successes, all three had been perpetually in conflict with the world; Michael Angelo strove for power, Rembrandt for luxury, Beethoven for love; but each attained his desire only by fits and starts, and always at the cost of bitter experiences. All three lost the few men and women whom they loved.

His invaluable erudition and analysis capacity, do not demerit at all, the most puzzled issues, with that pondered objectivity and Apollonian approach around historical events, facts and circumstances.

His fabulous biography around the multidimensional and egregious figure of Michelangelo is filled of remarkable details. Ludwig possesses a cinematographic eye and a vivid temperament that allows him, not only to describe but besides to recreate with febrile intensity this transcendental and colossal portrait around one of the most relevant heroes of the Art.

His Rembrandt and Beethoven are outstanding too, but the reason who led him to undertake this work is absolutely convincing due the reasons he exposes to consider the impressive number of analogies among these three Masters of the art.

This book is not only a fundamental reference text: I even go further: this reading may become a transcendental step in your personal life, taking into account the undeniable importance of every one of them, since as artists they created new roads, but also indicated us the full realization of the life; that expected happiness is part of this struggling and daily fight against the adversities; in Michelangelo his chisel, in Rembrandt the supreme domain of the light and shade contrasts and the untamed fierceness and unstoppable will of Beethoven demonstrates these values that inspired their respective existences should be kept in mind and never be exclusively relegated to the comfortable memory matrix'.
