Wstrząsające tajemnice malowideł Michała Anioła w Kaplicy Sykstynskiej wreszcie odkryte! Tak jak w czasie przeprowadzonego niedawno oczyszczenia fresk�w usunięto warstwa po warstwie nagromadzony na nich przez stulecia brud, tak na kartach tej książki podjęto pr�bę zmycia z najsłynniejszego i najpopularniejszego skarbu sztuki na świecie całych wiek�w uprzedzeń, cenzury i zwykłej głupoty. Nigdy już nie spojrzymy na Kaplicę Sykstyńską Michała Anioła tym samym okiem. Pięćset lat temu Michał Anioł rozpoczął prace nad malowidłami na sklepieniu Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej, kt�re stały się najsłynniejszym na świecie dziełem sztuki. Każdego roku miliony ludzi przyjeżdżają do Rzymu, by je oglądać - największy na świecie fresk w najświętszej kaplicy chrześcijaństwa. Na owym olbrzymim, wspaniałym dziele nie ma jednak ani jednego przedstawienia chrześcijańskiego. ?Tajemnice Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej? są fascynującą opowieścią o tym, jak Michał Anioł wpl�tł w malowidła przesłanie braterstwa, tolerancji i wolnomyślności, by wesprzeć 'towarzyszy podr�ży' w dążeniu do stawienia oporu represyjnemu Kościołowi tamtej epoki.
