| Imagination: The Divine Michelangelo | | | | The story of Michelangelo's titanic struggle to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is one of the artistic marvels of the world. However, Michelangelo viewed the commission as a trap set by his enemies in the Vatican and was horrified that he would have to stoop to what he considered the lowly and inferior craft of painting. This programme explores some of the main challenges he faced by recruiting two modern fresco artists. Fleur Kelly and Leo Stevenson, to produce their own version of the iconic scene where God creates Adam at a church in London.
