A unique masterpiece of contemporary art with profound historical significance, published in collaboration with the Vatican Museums.
"He who has not seen the Sistine Chapel has no idea what one man, Michelangelo, is capable of." - wrote the German poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe
In modern European civilization, the spirit of the Renaissance is expressed through two outstanding icons: Brunelleschi's dome in Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence and the Sistine Chapel in Rome, created by Michelangelo Buonarroti and other masters of the Renaissance era.
The Sistine Chapel, rich in biblical content and manifesting divine and human creativity, fascinates with its monumental frescoes covering an area of 1200 square meters, including the paintings of the Creation of the World (1508-1512) and the Last Judgment (1536-1541). This unique masterpiece harmoniously integrates artistic vision with architecture, representing an unparalleled point in art history. Thanks to intense colors and meticulously rendered figures, this work expresses Michelangelo's unmatched genius.
The sense of awe for this masterpiece has endured for centuries, and every day thousands of people from around the world come to admire the paintings adorning the walls, ceiling, and crypts of the Sistine Chapel, still experiencing the magic and beauty of this extraordinary place.
