Description

"Michelangelo and the dream of the Sistine Chapel" is an illustrated book, intended for children aged 10 and up.
Its aim is to make the reader understand the road that led Michelangelo to create one of the most iconic and admired masterpieces in the world, considering all the difficulties he faced.
The text is direct and immediate, to stimulate children's curiosity, not only about the iconography of the paintings (what's represented? What does it mean?), but also in the very technical aspect (how was it done?).
There is a part of the book specifically dedicated to the “fresco” and handmade colors that illustrates, step by step, the various layers to prepare the wall, the division of the work into “giornate” (days), the chemical reaction of the pigments in contact with plaster and many other details.
The images are evocative, following and completing the text, inviting young readers to identify themselves with Michelangelo and his adventure, going back to the years of his apprenticeship, the relationship with the powerful Pope Julius II, then with his helpers and the main decisions he had to take in the Sistine Chapel, for the Creation and for the Universal Judgment Day.
Art is not essentially a vague and abstract entity, difficult in its contents, but something much more tangible, the result of a highly specialized work that needed years of study and great efforts to be completed.
A part of the book is dedicated to the last restoration that has promoted a deeper knowledge of a masterpiece that is now part of our collective imaginary.
