The Sistine Chapel: The Art, the History, and the Restoration Text by Carlo Pietrangeli, Andre Chastel, John Shearman, John O'Malley, S.J., Pierluigi De Vecchi, Michael Hirst, Fabrizio Mancinelli, Gianluigi Colalucci, and Franco Bernabei In 1980, a team of world-renowned art restorers and historians began the laborious twelve-year task of cleaning and restoring Michelangelo's famous frescoes on the ceilings and walls of the Sistine Chapel. Five hundred years of candle soot, incense smoke, dust, dirt. and even an eighteenth-century coat of animal glue varnish had so dulled the frescoes that art scholars and critics classified Michelangelo as a sombre painter, insensitive to colour and only concerned with figurative drawing and sculpture.
