Résumé

High above the heads of visitors in Vatican City stretches one of the most breathtaking works of art in history-a ceiling filled with stories, colors, and figures that continue to inspire wonder. This book takes young readers on a journey through the past to discover how a pope's vision, a reluctant sculptor turned painter, and the struggles of the Renaissance combined to create something timeless.
Readers will uncover how the chapel was built, why it mattered so much to the Catholic Church, and how artists before Michelangelo filled its walls with dramatic stories from the Bible. They'll follow Michelangelo's journey from sculptor of marble to painter of the heavens, exploring the challenges he faced-dripping paint, aching muscles, endless hours-and the determination that carried him through.
From the Creation of Adam to the Last Judgment, each scene comes alive as part of a story that still speaks across centuries. Along the way, kids will also learn how the paintings nearly vanished under layers of smoke and candle wax, and how careful restoration brought back their dazzling colors for the world to see again. More than history, this is a story about creativity, persistence, and the power of art to inspire kids and adults alike-even hundreds of years after the last brushstroke was painted.
