The Sistine Chapel is coming to Denver’s The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace! Join Angela Nickerson for an evening walk and talk. Michelangelo Buonarroti didn’t consider himself a painter, and he tried desperately to get out of painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, but it is hard to refuse the command of the pope — especially Pope Julius II. Join Angela K. Nickerson, author of A Journey into Michelangelo’s Rome, as she weaves the story of this battle between a powerful pope and a masterful artist — a battle which resulted in one of the most iconic and celebrated achievements in Italian art.
Tickets are available for purchase at the Stanley box office. The link is below. I hope to see you there!
