Customer Review:
Michelangelo & the Pope's Ceiling by Ross King tells the story of four years, 1508-1512, in the life of three larger than life personalities: Michelangelo, Pope Julius II, and Raphael.

Great book. Reads like the denouement of spell-binding mystery novel with the visual and textual evidence mounting piece by piece until the conclusion seems inevitable. As a working artist, Hockney teases out clues that may have eluded art historians. The book itself is a piece of artwork with... more info

I was awed at the different themes and usage of what would seem to be everyday normal moments caught with an unearthly feel. He's even using music and... more info

It shows the oils layed out and has them labeld but in the text it doesn't tell what all of them are. Some you can go by the color but for the first step it just says mixture A,... more info
