A marvel of artistic achievement, Michelangelo's THE LAST JUDGEMENT powerfully depicts the Second Coming of Christ on the back wall of the Sistine Chapel. This vast fresco masterpiece, newly restored to its original vibrancy, is duly celebrated in this luxurious two-volume set. Created in collaboration with the Vatican Museum, this unprecedented publishing enterprise documents the nine-year restoration process, revealing not only how this seriously damaged and fragile fresco was rejuvenated but also illuminating new insights on Michelangelo's uniquely astonishing technique.

With over 800 meticulously reproduced color illustrations-each color corrected against the fresco itself by the Vatican's experts--and 200 drawings, this is the ultimate book on the subject and the most lavish presentation ever undertaken. Housed in a burgundy cloth-bound slipcase with four-color paintings on both sides and foil embossing on the spine, each volume is bound in burgundy linen with foil embossing on the cover. Endpapers, production, and printing are of the highest Italian quality. Replete with life-size details and exact color reproduction, this must-have set features the world's top Scholarship on the painstaking process that allowed Michelangelo's original vision to be rediscovered in all of its intensity and glory.
