Description

Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel - the great glory of Vatican art and one of the most treasured masterpieces of Western painting - provide a visual feast for art lovers in this magnificent, affordable new book. Presenting a complete survey of the restored Sistine Chapel frescoes from Creation scenes to The Last Judgment, this book includes a new text by a prominent American art history scholar. The stunning photographs, previously published by Abrams in two separate volumes, show brilliant details as well as large, overall views. There is no other one-volume work on the Sistine Chapel offering such a clear, concise introduction to this perennially popular subject.
