What was hidden was greater . Michelangelo's Secrets - Italy
"It is Michelangelo's hidden drawings under the Medici Chapel in the Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence, Italy in 1530 AD, where he was staying under it to escape the wrath of the Pope in Rome and Michelangelo barricaded himself in a small secret room under the Medici Chapel in the Basilica of San Lorenzo. The artist was working on the lavish tomb when the gates of hell broke loose in Florence, and he was forced to hide with nothing but time and a little charcoal in his hands. He covered the bare walls with some "prisoner" graffiti on the walls. Michelangelo di Ludovico Buonarroti Simoni designed the Medici Chapel as an elaborate domed mausoleum for a family of shepherds, but for three months he had to hide under it, during which time he filled the walls with drawings - of himself and Jesus Christ, and even some drawings. Experts believe that he painted copies of images from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, which he completed in 1512 AD. He hid in a tomb and thought it was his final resting place.
