Michelangelo, with his heroic struggles and his foul temper (not to mention his Tuscan origins), stood as Vasari's paragon, with results that are still with us today: there are many more books written on the agonies and the ecstasies of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Leonardo than on their more equable colleagues Raphael, Titian, Bernini, and Rubens.
