Second-Hand

Excellent condition

For visitors to the Vatican Museums, this publication has been a bestseller, and leafing through its pages it is easy to understand why.

Written by Francesco Rossi and Antonio P. Graziano, the clarity of its text and thoroughness of its pictorial documentation gives the reader an insight to the artistic meaning and historical context of the two most important Renaissance artists, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raphael Sanzio of Urbino.

As in the 16th century, the works of Michelangelo and Raphael in the Vatican are still, at the end of the 20th century, admired by viewers for their timeless beauty and  unmatched grandeur.

This publication is designed to bring the reader and art lover closer to the artists and their works represented in the book, some of which are not on display to the public. Its didactical approach with newly documented pictures and extensive captions make it a valuable learning tool as well as a beautifully illustrated book to be studied and enjoyed.

For this updated edition, new and unique photographs have been taken to accurately illustrate the magnificence of Michelangelo's newly restored frescoes of the Sistine Chapel including the Last Judgment.
