In 1508, despite strong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel. With little experience as a painter (though famed for his sculpture David ), Michelangelo was reluctant to begin the massive project.
Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling recounts the four extraordinary years Michelangelo spent laboring over the vast ceiling while the power politics and personal rivalries that abounded in Rome swirled around him. Battling against ill health, financial difficulties, domestic problems, the pope's impatience, and a bitter rivalry with the brilliant young painter Raphael, Michelangelo created scenes so beautiful that they are considered one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. A panorama of illustrious figures converged around the creation of this great work-from the great Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus to the young Martin Luther-and Ross King skillfully weaves them through his compelling historical narrative, offering uncommon insight into the intersection of art and history.
罗斯•金(Ross King),著有《布鲁内莱斯基的穹顶》(Blunelleschi’s Dome),描述文艺复兴建筑师布鲁内莱斯基在佛罗伦萨兴建圣母百花大教堂的故事,2001年被美国独立书商票选为非小说类年度风云书,《米开朗琪罗与教皇的天花板》则荣登《纽约时报》畅销 书金榜。

评分第一印象就是黄中宪的翻译看着舒服,(现在能让人看着舒服的中译本真的不敢奢求,世界史译本不忍卒读者众,导致要求越来越低,只求说人话,错别太多,前后译名至少一致吧诶ಠ_ರೃ)原本是拿来当睡前读物,但整个阅读过程兴奋愉悦,文字所营造的画面感很强,读到最后几章...

Absolutely stunning Book!!! Mr.King is a true scholar and a great story teller who makes this Renaissance story not boring or hard to read at all, I enjoyed it very much. There are lots of events and people involved in Michelangelo's greatest project. King knows these details and information so well just like he was there, with Michelangelo all the time! The story gets more interesting when Raphael appeared, at that time he was working on pope's private room. (I love Michelangelo's iconic nude human body!!!)

评分There was a spirit of order and beauty in art, which would come down and unite what men's ignorance had divided, and renew what time had made dim.
