The Truth(?) About the Sistine Chapel

By Marta Steele - Late last year I accomplished a goal I had set for myself back in high school, a very long time ago, nearly ancient history. At that time I read Irving Stone’s The Agony and the Ecstasy and was completely transported and green with envy over Michelangelo’s epitomal, utterly heroic creativity, in particular that archetypal artistic monument, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel... I vowed to involve myself in such utterly selfless, all-absorbing projects and aspired toward creating such masterworks in the process. What else, I thought, was there to live for?
