Raphael and Michelangelo at the Vatican
Description:
Michelangelo and Raphael, their fame lives on for centuries, their creations, despite the past centuries, have not lost their beauty. Their best works are in the Vatican Museums.
The rivalry of the two geniuses, constantly fomented by the Popes, led to the fact that each of them overcame the limit of human capabilities and created real masterpieces.
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel has already become a legend. "How he did it, because man is not capable of it," is what sweeps through the minds of enthusiastic spectators before their attention is consumed by the beauty and wonderful religious content of Buonarrotti's frescoes.
And just a few dozen meters from the Sistine Chapel, Raphael, painting the papal apartments, in four frescoes of one hall expressed the whole spiritual meaning of the Renaissance.
The choice of this route will suit you if you have not met the Vatican Museums for the first time, or if the work of Michelangelo and Raphael is of particular interest to you. Our entire tour will be dedicated to the Stanzas of Raphael, the Sistine Chapel, canvases and tapestries of masters exhibited in Pinakothek.
If desired, a visit to St. Peter's Cathedral can be added to the tour.
