Well as the work follows I need to state a thesis "Sistine Chapel, the Michelangelos most difficult artwork"... it's supposed, that for the reader's interest and for a greater ideas consition I need to state an argument, ideas supporting my idea, and ideas against. "Statements"!! :(

You've GOT to be kidding ! One of the most reknowned piece and you can't find anything relevant to your topic ?!? Run to the library and check all history of art books you can get your hands on. I'm sure they must have piles of books on Michaelangelo's life and ways of dealing with business.

You might want to check Art Renewal (http://www.artrenewal.org/) as well for visuals but also some of their articles. Be mindful tho, they tend to have definite ideas on art. Go to google, make a search, I'm sure you'll find what you need.

And type slower ! ;)

A great book that you might want to read is "Michelangelo and The Pope's Ceiling." I read it just recently and it is fantastic. Here is the Amazon link:

Good luck with your paper!

This past Monday June 19th 2006 the ROSE+CROIX JOURNAL has published my paper on the Sistine Chapel. You can surf this journal on the Internet and it will give you the most recent issue.

This paper is a detail analysis of all the frescos, images, symbols, on the floor, walls, and ceiling, which come together to narrate the story of Celestial Cartography in the Sistine Chapel.

There are many recognized patterns throughout the chapel. In fact when some of the frescos scenes are studied closely there are startling results. For example did you know that in the fifth panel, which is the central scene on the ceiling: Adam & Eve's Temptation and Expulsion that there are two serpents wrapped around that tree.

The ceiling has a number of concentrix circles, which even shows the Zodiac/Calendar year. There are many interesting patterns hereto forth not written about.
