The Creation of Adam
The original painting measures 480.1 cm W x 230.1 cm H, was created in 1511 and is a scene based on verse 1:27 from the book of Genesis in the Bible. As the title suggests, it portrays moment when God reaches out to touch Adam, creating him in his image.
It is undoubtedly the most outstanding fresco out of the nine central panels on the ceiling and was also inspired by a hymn called Veni, Creator Spiritus and in the hymn’s third stanza, it is written as “finger of God’s right hand”.
The Sistine Chapel
In 1508, Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to repaint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Reportedly, the Pope asked for a depiction of the 12 Apostles but Michelangelo proposed a more elaborate subject depicting several stories from the Old Testament in the Holy Bible, which resulted in the magnificent fresco we see on the Sistine Chapel ceiling today.
It is speculated that the famous Italian architect Donato Bramante was deeply envious of Michelangelo’s project to build the Pope’s Tomb, and as such, convinced the pope to hire Michelangelo to decorate the chapel in a medium he knew Michelangelo was unfamiliar with.
