WEBINAR RECORDING | Rome: Vatican Museums Part IV – “Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero⠀

When Michelangelo signed the contract with Pope Julius II in 1508 to paint the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, little did he know the turmoil that awaited him. After four and a half years of physical strain, personal conflict with the Pope, and an endless demand for inspiration, Michelangelo covered nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of ceiling with some of the most beautiful and sublime figures in history. This free webinar will examine the artistic importance of the ceiling, as well the human drama behind its creation.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
