Book Review of Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling

Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling

A fabulous popular history. I had studied the Sistine ceiling in art history class -- who hasn't? but I had never had a chance to learn of the political struggles engulfing Italy or the personal problems besetting Michelangelo during its creation. All in all, a great read.
