Summary
Barbara Furlotti: Great World Museums: Vatican Museums, Rome
The Vatican is described as the smallest and most powerful country in the entire world. A large part of world history was gathered in one part of Rome, in which the Catholic Church was the leading power in the world. What the Church has accumulated from works of art from Europe and the world has flowed into the Vatican Museums. In them, the beauty of not only the art supported by the church, but also that which was prohibited by the church, either by the code of forbidden books or works of art, is collected. Raphael's and Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel are just the tip of the iceberg behind the centuries-old wealth of art created by the greatest names in human art. This book offers them to the curious reader.
