The art of the Sistine Chapel, decorated by artists who competed
with one another and commissioned by popes who were equally
competitive, is a complex fabric of thematic, chronological, and
artistic references. Four main campaigns were undertaken to
decorate the chapel between 1481 and 1541, and with each new
addition, fundamental themes found increasingly concrete
expression. One theme in particular plays a central role in the
chapel: the legitimization of papal authority, as symbolized by two
keys-one silver, one gold-to the kingdom of heaven. "The Sistine
Chapel: Paradise in Rome" provides a concise, informative account
of the decoration of the Sistine Chapel. In unpacking this complex
history, Ulrich Pfisterer reveals the remarkable unity of the
images in relation to theology, politics, and the intentions of the
artists themselves, who included such household names as
Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Through a study of the main
campaigns to adorn the Sistine Chapel, Pfisterer argues that the
art transformed the chapel into a pathway to the kingdom of God,
legitimising the absolute authority of the popes. First published
in German, the prose comes to life in English in the deft hands of
translator David Dollenmayer.
In the Christian world the images of the Virgin and Saints as well
as the scenes of the Annunciation and the Adoration have been the
source of artists' inspiration throughout many centuries. Evangelic
themes are represented in the Hermitage collection by the canvases
of such men of genius as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian,
Brueghel, Rubens, Van Dyke, Rembrandt and many others. A wide
variety of masterpieces allows us to illustrate the scene of
Nativity not only with magnificent paintings but also with
drawings, engravings, reliefs and elegant objects of applied arts.
Arca and Reader's Digest jointly present this full- colour book,
with a fascinating text and elegant design which will make this
edition a perfect gift and a treasured adornment to any home
library.
