The Agony And The Ecstasy.

Michelangelo Buonarroti is a renowned sculptor of the Republic of Florence in the early 16th century. When Pope Julius II commissions him to paint the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo resists because he finds the ceiling's paneled layout of the Twelve Apostles uninspiring. He flees to Carrara and then into the mountains, where he finds inspiration from nature. The work proceeds nonstop, even with Mass in session, as months turn to years.
