Résumé:

In 1980, a team of world-renowned art restorers and historians began the laborious twelve-year task of cleaning and restoring Michelangelo's famous frescoes on the ceiling and walls of the Sistine Chapel. The amazing discoveries made during the first four-year phase of the restoration have completely revised our understanding of Michelangelo's art -- not only reaffirming his status as one of the greatest artists in history, but exceeding all past judgments about his genius and skill. In seven authoritative essays, "The Sistine Chapel" examines the many new discoveries made possible by the restoration. "The Sistine Chapel" is a record of this enormous undertaking, truly a labor-of-love, whose profound impact on the history of art will be enjoyed and revered for many generations to come. -- From publisher's description
