Publisher's Synopsis
 
The author paints a portrait of Michelangelo the man and tells the story of the creation of the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, the techniques employed and the artist's visionary approach to his Biblical subjects. At the heart of the book is the account of the cleaning, which revealed the range of colours which have caused art historians to reassess the nature of Michelangelo's genius.
