A former coal cellar where the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo is thought to have hidden to escape from a furious pope will open to the public on Nov. 15, a museum in Florence said on Tuesday.
佛羅倫斯一間博物館週二宣布,偉大的文藝復興藝術家米開朗基羅為躲避憤怒的教宗所藏匿過的一處煤窖,將在11月15日向大眾開放。
Michelangelo’s "secret room" is located inside the Museum of the Medici Chapels and contains charcoal sketches of human figures which have been attributed to the artist, who is said to have taken refuge there in 1530.
米開朗基羅的「密室」位於麥地奇教堂博物館內部,傳說1530年他在此避難,裡頭有被認定由米開朗基羅所畫的許多炭筆人物素描。
Paolo Dal Poggetto, then-director of the Museum of the Medici Chapels, attributed many of the drawings found on the walls to Michelangelo, although others have since disputed this.
時任麥地奇教堂博物館總監保羅.達爾.波傑多認為,房內牆上的許多畫作出自米開朗基羅之手,但這樣的論點後來受到質疑。
Dal Poggetto believed the artist had taken refuge in the room after falling foul of Pope Clement VI
達爾.波傑多相信,米開朗基羅觸怒了教宗克萊門六世後在此避難。
