Prof. Dr. Alexander Perrig
born in Lucerne (Switzerland) in 1930, taught history of art at the universities of Hamburg,
Marburg and Trier. He has dedicated some decades of his life to the task of doing justice to
those draughtsmen of Michelangelo´s entourage (Tommaso de´Cavalieri, Cellini, Clovio,
Condivi, Daniele da Volterra, Jacopo del Duca, Venusti etc.) whose drawings are to be
suspected of having been, largely or completely, attributed to Michelangelo since the late
sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries. He is currently living in Frankfurt a.M. where he
divides his time between research, writing (e.g. a study on the history of landscape painting as
mirroring the history of geological notions) and teaching.
