| Summary |
The Sistine Chapel ceiling. It's the largest and some would say the greatest painting in the world, and it's astonishingly famous. Remarkably, no one has ever explained exactly what the Sistine ceiling is trying to tell us, or why it was painted. The real meaning of the Sistine ceiling has remained a mystery for 500 years. Until now... In a radical and shocking two-part documentary writer/director Waldemar Januszczak seeks the true meaning behind Michelangelo's greatest masterpiece. Januszczak has been studying the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome for 20 years, trying to crack the pictorial code that conceals its startling meaning. The Michelangelo Code takes us on a journey from Texas to Jerusalem, in the footsteps of Columbus and all around Italy, in an attempt to find answers to one of the world's most enduring art mysteries |
