Book Reviews of Michelangelo: The Frescoes of Sistine Chapel
Book Review: bad print and design quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of this book.
The pictures are all pale, desaturated and sometimes out of focus!
The layout of this book is something to be desired as well. All Michaelangelo frescoes are "widescreen", so pretty much every single picture span 2 pages. So how I am supposed to enjoy the picture with the book's fold in between??
Creation of Adam, the most famous fresco is never even given in full size.
What a pathetic book with such an outrageous price!
Summary of Michelangelo: The Frescoes of Sistine Chapel
Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel-the great glory of Vatican art and one of the most treasured masterpieces of Western painting-provide a visual feast for art lovers in this magnificent, affordable new book. Presenting a complete survey of the restored Sistine Chapel frescoes from Creation scenes to the Last Judgment, the book includes a new text by a prominent American scholar. The stunning photographs, previously published by Abrams in two separate volumes, show brilliant details as well as large, overall views. No other one-volume work on the Sistine Chapel offers such a clear, concise introduction to this perennially popular subject.Michelangelo Books
