certainly had not reached the chronological time of treating the Sistine Chapel in this series, however I have read a couple of news that have forced me to put it now, that Yes, when the time comes I will speak in detail of this magnificent work the way it was intended.
Well, as has appeared in an article in the Italian Corriere della Sera, the expert Elena Lazzarini, University of Pisa said that Michelangelo had drawn for their models in the bathrooms-brothels Sixteenth-century Rome popularly known as Stufa. Places exercised more or less consentidamente prostitution of both sexes in the most remote rooms while carrying out other spa treatments.
In Stufa artists studied real bodies, models, and then move their salient features to their works. In fact, Lazzarini believe that Michelangelo drew much of their knowledge about the anatomy of the male body by visiting these brothels. The same source of inspiration, according to the expert, can be found in some of the work of Bronzino.
This particular form of copy the natural is that which explains, according to Lazzarini, that many of the blessed and convicted as part of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel were portrayed in obscene situations.
A convicted, for example, is driven to Hell taken by the testes, and blessed be hugs and kisses are clearly a homosexual , adding male bodies, very manly, which make up the painting of Judgement Final correspond to the physiology of laborers and porters portrayed at work, his muscles tensed and the fatigue and effort on their faces reflected .
I have to say that if this were true it would be nothing strange for the artists of the time as I said and Leonardo, the artist should be inspired by nature, and that more natural women and naked men in a bathhouse. Since we discussed the issue of the Sistine Chapel would like to add the intention of creating a kind of virtual copy of the National Research Council CNR of Italy with the aim of reducing the influx of tourists since according to Antonio says Paolucci director of the Vatican Museums deteriorate the quality of fresh, as in the day with the cave of Altamira in Cantabria.
The idea is to launch a virtual museum project to allow the public to deepen their visit and the content of the work, with another tool to access this important heritage, explains Eva Pietroni , coordinator of the CNR for the Institute of Technologies Applied to Cultural Heritage. The objective is to regulate the flow of visitors, not to close the Sistine Chapel to the public, just to offer visitors a tool that addresses between a better and see the work familiar with its contents, points Pietroni. the visitor can complete the information come from a different perspective to the work, walk through the space and capture elements otherwise not perceive.
Paolucci said the results of the cleanup work that a group of 30 specialists has been carried out during the summer to clean the dust that had accumulated over the past four years the frescoes of Michelangelo, Botticelli and Perugino adorn the chapel. The problem with this place visited every day by thousands of people, "he said anthropic pressure is excessive, it would need some changes and environmental compensation provided effectively.
hope the Italian government spared no expense when it comes to preserving this World Heritage Site. Measures in Spain should take note of shame because the state is facing many of the artistic treasures we have in our country, is not the first time that people who visit Italy, I said that we are many turns in the field of conservation, tourism and exploitation of their resources (sometimes excessively so true.) Yo I have the closest example of Romanesque Asturias in Oviedo has also been declared World Heritage by UNESCO as I have to watch out every now and alarming news in the paper denouncing the level of neglect and poor state, almost irretrievable works of architecture unique in the world while the administration continues to take long or cut funding for something as fundamental. I do not think that is telling you something that sounds new, it is a common malady in this country should learn to take better care of their heritage, because it does not take Rome and have a look Sistine Chapel for culture.
Until such time we see this idea carried Virtual Museum, here you have two small wonders that I found on the website of the Holy See in Rome, are two superb high-fidelity virtual visits to the Sistine Chapel first and the Basilica of St. Peter, I add the links to a couple of screenshots to prove quality.
