A deeply personal search for meaning in Michelangelo&amp;#39;s frescoes-and an impassioned defence of the role of art in a fractured age.
What do we hope to get out of seeing a famous piece of art? Jeannie Marshall asked that question of herself when she started visiting the Sistine Chapel frescoes. She wanted to understand their meaning and context-but in the process, she also found what she didn&amp;#39;t know she was looking for.
All Things Move: Learning to Look in the Sistine Chapel tells the story of Marshall&amp;#39;s relationship with one of our most cherished artworks. Interwoven with the history of its making and the Rome of today, it&amp;#39;s an exploration of the past in the present, the street in the museum, and the way a work of art can both terrify and alchemize the soul. An impassioned defence of the role of art in a fractured age, All Things Move is a quietly sublime meditation on how our lives can be changed by art, if only we learn to look.
