You want to know what the author will unearth next. If you are fascinated by the Vatican and its Jewish connection, you will be dazzled by the information presented in the book. It is revealed in a thoroughly entertaining manner that really keeps you flipping pages to find out what happens next. If you are planning to visit the Vatican, postpone the visit until you have read this book. ( ) Interesting read. Take what you will from it. Coincidence is not eliminated in any of the explanations. Fact and conjecture become entwined. If your visiting the Sistine then have a read before you go. There is so much to see in such a short time that this book may help you identify the frescos that are of most interest to you. This reads like a bad Dan Brown novel: no intrigue and even less believable details. Offering no footnotes to back up historical statements and clearly fudging details (shouldn't these two Jewish men know Hebrew better than they do—or are they purposely being misleading?). To the bitter end, it smacks of egotism, the very thing they denounce in their pejorative language against the Catholic Church of the 16th century.

It was so crowded and hot that I could not wait to get out. It was enough for me to see Moses in a different place and David (in Florence). After reading this book now, I promised myself to go again and look at all his work. According to this book, Michelangelo's message was universal about love and friendship between the different cultures that influenced Christianity. He was not interested in exalting the Church or the popes. with his work, poked at the corruption and injustice around him. The influence of the Jewish writing on him is very revealing. So many of his painting were from the Old Testament. How sad that people with his ideas lived hundreds of years ago yet the practices of religious persecution continued until very recently. I too wished that there would have been more photos of his work. The references to the Kabbalah are emphasized in this book and one has to learn more about it in order to better understand it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Preparese para desaprender todo lo que creia saber sobre la Capilla Sixtina y las obras maestras de Miguel angel. Este libro procurara desplazar siglos de prejuicio, censura e ignorancia de uno de los tesoros del arte mas famosos y queridos del mundo. Hace quinientos anos Miguel angel comenzo una pintura que se convirtio en una de las piezas de arte mas famosas del mundo: el cielorraso de la Capilla Sixtina. Todos los anos, millones de personas se acercan a ver el cielorraso Sixtino de Miguel angel, el fresco mas grande del mundo en la mas sagrada de las capillas cristianas; sin embargo, no hay una sola imagen cristiana en esta vasta, magnifica obra de arte. Los secretos de la Capilla Sixtina cuenta la fascinante historia de como Miguel angel oculto mensajes de hermandad, tolerancia y de libre pensamiento en su pintura para alentar a los "companeros de viaje" a que desafiaran a la represiva Iglesia Catolica Romana de la epoca. Blech y Doliner revelan lo que Miguel angel realmente quiso expresar en las representaciones angelicales que de manera brillante se mofaban de su mecenas papal, como logro escabullir herejias no ortodoxas en sus representaciones ostensiblemente pias, y como fue capaz de cumplir la ambicion de su vida de tender un puente entre la sabiduria de la ciencia y las constricciones de la fe. Los secretos de la Capilla Sixtina, desentierra secretos que han permanecido escondidos y a la vista por siglos. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
