Obligaron a Miguel Ángel pintar la Capilla Sixtina

Michelangelo didn't want to paint the Sistine Chapel. He saw himself as a sculptor, not a painter. His world was marble, the human body, stone, and sculpture. But Pope Julius II imposed upon him one of the most difficult commissions in the history of art: to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. For years, Michelangelo worked under pressure, enduring physical pain, technical difficulties, arguments, loneliness, and the suspicion that the commission might be a trap to make him fail. But what began as a torment ended up becoming one of the most famous works of all time. This is the story of the ceiling that Michelangelo didn't want to paint… and that ended up making him immortal.
