Requests:  0 Summary:  In 1508, despite strong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel. With little experience as a painter (though famed for his sculpture David), Michelangelo was reluctant to begin the massive project. Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling recounts the four extraordinary years Michelangelo spent laboring over the vast ceiling while the power politics and personal rivalries that abounded in Rome swirled around him.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 759.5 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 759.5 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 759.5 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 759.5 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 759.5 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
