Nel 1508, papa giulio ii commissionò a michelangelo di dipingere il soffitto della cappella sistina. Il trentatreenne michelangelo aveva pochissima esperienza dell'arte dell'affresco, un'arte fisicamente e tecnicamente impegnativa; e, con i suoi dodicimila piedi quadrati, il soffitto rappresentava uno dei più grandi progetti di questo tipo mai tentati. Tuttavia, per i successivi quattro anni lui e una squadra di assistenti scelti a mano lavorarono sul vasto soffitto, realizzando migliaia di disegni e trascorrendo ore massacranti su un'impalcatura a cinquanta piedi dal pavimento. Il risultato fu uno dei più grandi capolavori di tutti i tempi. Questo affascinante libro racconta la storia di quei quattro anni straordinari e dipinge un magnifico quadro della vita quotidiana sulle impalcature della sistina - e fuori, nel tumulto della roma dei primi del xvi secolo.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001453155
