Story907
In 1508, despite strong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel in Rome. During the four extraordinary years that Michelangelo spent laboring over the ceiling, power politics and personal rivalries swirled around him. He battled ill health, financial and family difficulties, inadequate knowledge of the art of fresco, and the Pope's impatience - a history that is more compelling than most novels.

The audioguide tells the story, describes the architecture and reports interesting facts about the basilica. Saint John the Evangelist preached in this place. Tradition tells us that John, the apostle of Jesus, was placed in a cauldron of boiling oil, but came out miraculously uninjured and safe. The real gem of this church are the medieval frescoes, discovered during the restoration works of the last century.

This book is about one of the most celebrated artists of the seventeenth century: Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Today, Bernini is considered one of the greatest sculptors of the Baroque period. Even during his own lifetime, many of his contemporaries believed he was one of the most important artists who had ever lived. However, admiration for Bernini and his work has not always been this strong. Bernini himself predicted that his reputation would suffer after his death — and he was right. When the Baroque style fell out of fashion, his art was often dismissed as vulgar or exaggerated. For many ...

The Galleria Borghese in Rome is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful museums in the city — and even in the world. It is a small museum with an exquisite collection, housed in a magnificent villa. Many of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s early masterpieces can be found here. If you are ever in Rome, make sure to visit it. In my experience, many people find the Galleria Borghese even more beautiful than the Vatican Museums — something they did not expect beforehand. This may also have to do with the museum’s strict reservation system, which keeps the experience calm and enjoyable. This ...

What does the face of power look like? Who gets commemorated in art and why? And how do we react to statues of politicians we deplore? In this book - against a background of today’s “sculpture wars” - Mary Beard tells the story of how for more than two millennia portraits of the rich, powerful, and famous in the Western world have been shaped by the image of Roman emperors, especially the “Twelve Caesars”, from the ruthless Julius Caesar to the fly-torturing Domitian.

Story251
Written between A.D. 413 and 426, The City of God is one of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian thought, a book which is vital to the understanding of modern Western society. Augustine originally intended it to be an apology for Christianity against the accusation that the Church was responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire, which had occurred just three years earlier. Indeed, Augustine produced a great amount of evidence to prove that paganism was responsible for this event. However, by the time the work was finished, the book had taken on a larger theme.

The decadence of Imperial Rome comes to life in S.P. Somtow's Literary Titan Award-winning novel about one of ancient history's wildest characters. The historian Suetonius tells us that the Emperor Nero emasculated and married his slave Sporus, the spitting image of murdered Empress Poppaea. But history has more tidbits about Sporus, who went from "puer delicatus" to Empress to one Emperor and concubine to another, and ended up being sentenced to play the Earth-Goddess in the arena. World Fantasy Award winner S.P. Somtow weaves a vivid adventure about one of the most colorful personalities ...
