paintings are shown in great detail. 2 pages of text gives a brief introduction to Michelangelo. The rest are all zoomed in versions of his paintings from the Sistine chapel

A wonderful volume on Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel. The book provides information about the history of the project, and then show various shots of the work itself.
