From his move to Rome where he was commissioned by a cardinal to sculpt one of his most famous pieces through his Sistine Chapel masterpiece and his design of the dome at St. Peter's Basilica, Fresca enlightens young readers on the magnificence of this brilliant Renaissance artist. Beautiful chronologically arranged reproductions of many of his sculptures and paintings are featured throughout the book.
