The Agony And The EcstasyStone, Irving
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Battling against ill health, financial difficulties, domestic problems and inadequate knowledge of the art of fresco, Michelangelo created figures on the Sistine Chapel ceiling so beautiful that, when they were unveiled in 1512, they stunned his onlookers. This is the story behind the masterpiece.

Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781844139323) King, Ross Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: VINTAGE, United Kingdom, 2006. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book. In 1508, Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The thirty-three-year-old Michelangelo had very little experience of the physically and technically taxing art of fresco; and, at twelve thousand square feet, the ceiling represented one of the largest such projects ever attempted. Nevertheless, for the next four years he and a hand-picked team of assistants laboured over the vast ceiling, making thousands of drawings and spending back-breaking hours on a scaffold fifty feet above the floor. The result was one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. This fascinating book tells the story of those four extraordinary years and paints a magnificent picture of day-to-day life on the Sistine scaffolding - and outside, in the upheaval of early sixteenth-century Rome.
