Every year millions of people come to see Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, the largest fresco painting on Earth, in Christianity's holiest chapel - yet there is not one Christian image in this vast, magnificent artwork. This book tells the fascinating story of how Michelangelo ingeniously embedded messages of brotherhood, tolerance, freethinking and other unorthodox heresies in his painting to encourage viewers to challenge the repressive Roman Catholic Church of his time. The Sistine Secrets unearths secrets that have remained hidden in plain sight for centuries! 272 pp. (See Announcements above for recent media coverage.)
