Text is in Italian. Considers the myth and technique surrounding Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel, as well as the artwork's restoration. The annotated and illustrated catalogues in this single volume address more than 200 pieces that relate to the endeavor, including many handwritten documents, close-up views, and before-and-afters. Includes a sizable bibliography. Interesting, for the original art, the artist's process, and the restoration and conservation issues. Uncommon.
