A unique masterpiece of contemporary art with deep historical significance, published in collaboration with the Vatican Museums.
"Anyone who has not seen the Sistine Chapel cannot imagine what one man, Michelangelo, was capable of." - wrote 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.
Rich in biblical content and manifesting divine and human creativity, the Sistine Chapel fascinates with its monumental frescoes covering an area of 1,200 square meters, including 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 a unique point in art history. With its intense colors and detailed figures, this work is an expression of Michelangelo's unparalleled genius.
The sense of wonder at this masterpiece has endured for centuries, and every day thousands of people from all over the world come to admire the paintings adorning the walls, ceiling, and crypts of the Sistine Chapel, continuing to experience the magic and beauty of this extraordinary place.
