Condition: Sehr gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 413, [12] Seiten mit vielen Abbildungen und Karten. 21 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Design Team. Sehr guter Zustand. Einige Seiten mit Einmerkungsknick. "Ross King geht wenig ehrfürchtig mit seiner Hauptfigur um. Und die Qualität seines spannenden Michelangelo-Buches - von der Anlage her ein Sachbuch, doch so erzählfreudig wie ein Roman - besteht unter anderem darin." Frankfurter Rundschau. Wenn es denn so etwas wie ein Pflichtprogramm für Rom-Reisende gibt, dann gehört die Sixtinische Kapelle mit dem mehr als nur beeindruckenden Deckenfresko Michelangelos zweifellos zu dessen unverzichtbaren Stationen. Und wenn irgendein Buch für die Vor- oder Nachbereitung der Pilgerreise in das Innerste des Vatikans Pflichtlektüre sein sollte, dann ist es Ross Kings Michelangelo und die Fresken des Papstes. Selten nur findet man ein (kunst-)historisches Sachbuch, das zu lesen einen solchen Spaß macht -- und aus dem man überdies über so viele Fassetten einer Zeit so vieles lernen kann. So erfahren wir nicht nur, dass Michelangelo das Deckengemälde, das uns die christliche Geschichte von der Erschaffung der Welt, von Adams und Evas Sündenfall und ihrer Vertreibung aus dem Paradies, von der Sintflut und der Trunkenheit Noahs erzählt, nicht, wie häufig kolportiert wird, im Liegen gefertigt hat, sondern stehend auf einem in die Decke eingelassenen Holzgerüst, und dass er bei seiner Arbeit -- auch dies entgegen vielfach anders lautender Überlieferung -- über ein kleines Heer von Helfern verfügte. Wir erfahren vor allen Dingen auch, dass der sich als Bildhauer und nicht als Maler verstehende Michelangelo das Fresko eigentlich überhaupt nicht und unter gar keinen Umständen hatte malen wollen. Zu der Arbeit an dem Jahrtausendkunstwerk fand er sich nur unter massivem Druck und handfesten Drohungen bereit, sowie wegen der Aussicht, nach dessen Fertigstellung den zuvor zurückgezogenen Auftrag für das Figurenensemble zu erhalten, das später einmal die päpstliche Grabstätte schmücken sollte. Sehr ausführlich hat sich der Autor bei seinen Recherchen mit den diffizilen technischen Problemen der Freskomalerei beschäftigt, die er ebenso ausführlich vor uns ausbreitet, wie das ganze geschichtliche Drumherum um den Auftraggeber, Papst Julius II. -- einem Mann, der, wie schon der ihm verpasste Beiname "der Schreckliche" verrät, alles andere als ein Heiliger war, dessen militärische und politische Feld- und Winkelzüge aber ebenso von einer enormen Instinktsicherheit zeugen, wie sein Kunstgeschmack. --Andreas Vierecke. "So schreibt man ein Sachbuch: Ross Kings intelligente, hinreißend lesbare Einführung in das Werk Michelangelos." FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG. - Ross King (born July 16, 1962) is a Canadian novelist and non-fiction writer. He began his career by writing two works of historical fiction in the 1990s, later turning to non-fiction, and has since written several critically acclaimed and best-selling historical works. Career and works: King was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada and was raised in the nearby village of North Portal. He received his undergraduate university education at the University of Regina, where in 1984 he completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in English Literature. Continuing his studies at the University of Regina, he received a Master of Arts degree in 1986 upon completing a thesis on the poet T. S. Eliot. Later he achieved a PhD from York University in Toronto (1992), where he specialized in eighteenth-century English literature. King moved to England to take up a position as a post-doctoral research fellow at University College London. It was at this time that he began writing his first novel. King's first novel, Domino, (1995), tells the story of a castrato singer seen through the experience of an aspiring painter in the London of the 1770s. In 1998, King published Ex-Libris, his second work of historical fiction. Set in London and Prague, it chronicles how a London bookseller's search in the 1660s for a missing manuscript leads him unwittingly into a world of deception and murder. Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence (2000) describes how the Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi designed what still stands as the largest masonry dome ever built: the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, completed in 1436. Brunelleschi's Dome marked King's transition from novelist to writer of art histories and biographies.[1] Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, (2002), follows the four arduous years during which Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel amid the political and religious intrigues of early sixteenth-century Rome. King's next book, The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade That Gave the World Impressionism (2006), was met by much critical acclaim and considerable commercial success. By contrasting the works and lives of the French painters Ernest Meissonier and Édouard Manet, the book chronicles the dramatic transition by which the Impressionist painters changed the artistic vision of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century. King received Canada's 2006 Governor-General's Award for Non-Fiction for this book. His next project, part of the Eminent Lives series, was Machiavelli: Philosopher of Power (2007), a biography of Niccolò Machiavelli in which King illustrates the personal, social and political development of one of history's most famous political theorists. Defiant Spirits: The Modernist Revolution of the Group of Seven (2010) looked at the Group of Seven organization of Canadian landscape artists that launched Canada's first nationalist art movement in the decades after the First World War. For Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, King was nominated in 2003 for a National Book Critics Circle Award. Brunelleschi's Dome was on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the San Francisco Chronicle, and was the recipient of several awards including the 2000 Book Sense Nonfiction Book of the Y.
