Although Claudia and Jamie's adventures in the Metropolitan Museum of Art center around the secret origins of a statue by Michelangelo, this angel statue never existed; the author E. L. Konigsburg created it from her imagination. The Metropolitan Museum does own one work by this great Italian artist, a drawing called Studies for the Libyan Sibyl. He drew this in preparation for the decoration of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.
