What a disappointment; like reading a recipe without knowing what you are cooking!12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Hidden Meanings in Michaelangelo's ArtBy JanlanMichelangelo's connection with ancient knowledge and religions is explained and explored in this well written narrative. Unfamiliar details of his art are presented and exposed as the artist's camouflaged statements against the political and religious powers of his era. The book is a pleasure to read.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful bookBy Richard MyersI learned many things about the Sistine Chapel and I will not mention any spoilers. There are so many facts and the book has a very reputable group of scholars as the authors. I highly recommend this book.
