frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel are one of the most renowned championships of the Italian Renaissance. Stephanie Storey in his book depicts their origin as no one before: through the eyes of Michelangelo's most curled rival, a young, handsome Rafael Santi of Urbin, excel in the painter obsessed with perfection. Rafael orbited at the age of eleven and is firmly determined to follow the promise he gave his father on a mortal bed: becoming the greatest painter in history. But to be the best, he must defeat the best, legendary sculptor, creator David, Michelangelo Buonarroti. Pope Julius II. He calls both artists to Rome and puts them against each other: Michelangelo paints the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, while Rafael is in charge of decorating the Pope's private chambers. Rafael strives for perfection, but struggles with inner demons: desperate ambition, crippling fear of imperfection and immense loneliness. During his work, he picches with cardinals, crawls the debris of ancient Rome, and falls in love with the baker's daughter, who became a harlot and as such his muse.
Rafael, a painter in Rome with his beautiful language, an impressive environment, nice characters and an engaging plot colorfully depicts the lives of two Renaissance masters competing in the middle of dangerous Vatican halls.
