Synopsis
An acclaimed British novelist turns to real life in the Renaissance in this account of Michelangelo's frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In realistic detail, King explains how Michelangelo executed his monumental work, exploring not only the difficult process itself but also the cast of characters surrounding the feat, from the pope who commissioned it to the humble workmen on whom the painter relied. In this history of the artist's most famous commission, King debunks the myth of the frescoes' creation, offering a new version of what Michelangelo experienced, as well as an accounting of those cultural and political forces swirling around the city that affected him. Profusely illustrated.

Publisher's Note
The author of the acclaimed Brunellechi's Dome offers a fascinating account of Michelangelo's creation of his masterpiece, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, from his original commission from Pope Julius II, through the artist's four years of work, to the final acclaim at the paintings' 1512 unveiling.

Industry Reviews
"A legned-busting, richly detailed account of the four-year making of the Sistene Chapel frescos."
Kirkus Reviews (11/15/2002)
