The Sistine secrets : Michelangelo's forbidden messages in the heart of the Vatican

Five hundred years ago Michelangelo began work on a painting that became one of the most famous pieces of art in the world-the Sistine Chapel ceiling. 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.

  • "Preparese para desaprender todo lo que creia saber sobre la Capilla Sixtina y las obras maestras de Miguel angel. Este libro procurara desplazar siglos de prejuicio, censura e ignorancia de uno de los tesoros del arte mas famosos y queridos del mundo. Hace quinientos anos Miguel angel comenzo una pintura que se convirtio en una de las piezas de arte mas famosas del mundo: el cielorraso de la Capilla Sixtina. Todos los anos, millones de personas se acercan a ver el cielorraso Sixtino de Miguel angel, el fresco mas grande del mundo en la mas sagrada de las capillas cristianas; sin embargo, no hay una sola imagen cristiana en esta vasta, magnifica obra de arte. Los secretos de la Capilla Sixtina cuenta la fascinante historia de como Miguel angel oculto mensajes de hermandad, tolerancia y de libre pensamiento en su pintura para alentar a los "companeros de viaje" a que desafiaran a la represiva Iglesia Catolica Romana de la epoca. Blech y Doliner revelan lo que Miguel angel realmente quiso expresar en las representaciones angelicales que de manera brillante se mofaban de su mecenas papal, como logro escabullir herejias no ortodoxas en sus representaciones ostensiblemente pias, y como fue capaz de cumplir la ambicion de su vida de tender un puente entre la sabiduria de la ciencia y las constricciones de la fe. Los secretos de la Capilla Sixtina, desentierra secretos que han permanecido escondidos y a la vista por siglos."
