Every year millions of people come to see the largest fresco painting on earth in the holiest of Christianity's chapels; yet there is not one single Christian image in this vast, magnificent artwork. This book tells how Michelangelo embedded messages of brotherhood, tolerance, and freethinking in his painting to encourage "fellow travelers" to challenge the repressive Roman Catholic Church of his time. Authors Blech and Doliner reveal what Michelangelo meant in the angelic representations that brilliantly mocked his papal patron, how he managed to sneak unorthodox heresies into his ostensibly pious portrayals, and how he was able to fulfill his lifelong ambition to bridge the wisdom of science with the strictures of faith.--From publisher description. 505 0 $a In the beginning -- What is the Sistine Chapel? -- Lost language of art -- A rebel is born -- A very special education -- Out of the garden and into the world -- As fate would have it -- A private tour of the Sistine Temple -- Crossing the threshold -- The vault of heaven -- The house of David -- The four corners of the universe -- A company of prophets -- The middle path -- Parting shots -- Beyond the ceiling -- Back on the scene -- Secrets of The Last Judgment -- Later secrets -- "A world transfigured" -- Conclusion: so, what is the Sistine Chapel? 600 00 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x Criticism and interpretation. 610 20 $a Cappella Sistina (Vatican Palace, Vatican City) 650 0 $a Symbolism in art. 650 0 $a Mural painting and decoration, Italian $z Vatican City. 650 0 $a Mural painting and decoration, Renaissance $z Vatican City. 600 07 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00064395 610 27 $a Cappella Sistina (Vatican Palace, Vatican City) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00721198 650 7 $a Mural painting and decoration, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029675 650 7 $a Mural painting and decoration, Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029719 650 7 $a Symbolism in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140771 651 7 $a Vatican City. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208574 600 07 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x Criticism and interpretation. $2 nli 610 27 $a Cappella Sistina (Vatican Palace, Vatican City) $2 nli 650 7 $a Symbolism in art. $2 nli 650 7 $a Mural painting and decoration, Italian $z Vatican City. $2 nli 650 7 $a Mural painting and decoration, Renaissance $z Vatican City. $2 nli 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Doliner, Roy, $d 1954- 776 08 $i Online version: $a Blech, Benjamin. $t Sistine secrets. $b 1st ed. $d New York : HarperOne, ©2008 $w (OCoLC)690997291 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0811/2008006580.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0911/2008006580-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0911/2008006580-d.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210603112936.0 $n 14 $p +CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30F74214AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
