Review title: Painting the Sistine Chapel
Product review: I saw the Charlton Heston - Rex Harrison movie about Michelangelo and Pope Julius II many years ago, and so assumed that I knew a lot about the painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. After reading this book, I realize that I was very wrong! This work is extremely well written and fast-paced. We get mini biographies of numerous historical figures, plus great dollops of Italian and European history to boot. The author tells a terrific story in lucid prose, and the reader is simply fascinated with how the painting was accomplished. Even though the romantic notion of Michelangelo paining by lying on his back for years, paint dripping all over his face, is not factual, the true tale is every bit as fascinating! This is one of those niche pieces of history that is well covered by this book, and I highly recommend this work to anyone with a penchant for the offbeat in historical action.
