Color: color

Description: Dramatizes the full power of the Renaissance as Rome about 1500, explodes into an expanse of imperial splendor, a city now a world of giants and heroes. Stresses the power of Pope Julius II, who dominates by sheer strength of will three outstanding geniuses — Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bramante. Points out that without this drive, the Sistine Chapel would not have been painted, the Papal apartments would not have been immortalized and St. Peter's would not have been torn down and rebuilt.
