The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo

The Creation of Adam (1512)

Michelangelo | Renaissance | Fresco

God reaches out to give life to Adam, their fingers almost touching. This famous scene is painted on a ceiling!

Did you know? Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling standing up on scaffolding, with his head tilted back, not lying down as many people imagine! It took about four years, and he wrote a poem grumbling that paint kept dripping onto his face.
