Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling

The book delves into his personal conflicts and physical hardships. I wonder what the author found most compelling about portraying his internal battles.

It seemed like the religious and political pressures were almost as challenging as the physical act of painting. How did others interpret the influence of these forces on his art?

The book offers fresh insights into Michelangelo's process—I'm curious whether the author uncovered new sources or pieced together existing scholarship in novel ways.
