The MFin’ Sistine Chapel ceiling ,[object Object],[object Object]

So Michelangelo actually declined the commission but eventually agreed when he was allowed to paint whatever biblical stories he wanted. In all, the ceiling consists of 300 paintings. The Creation of Adam (left) is the centerpiece. It took 3 out of the 4 years to paint this one panel. God is a real giver in this one, he’s instilling life to Adam and the big Playa is about to get him a sweet hook-up (that’s Eve that G-Money has his arm around). Bottom left is the Great flood and directly below is the expulsion from Paradise. I hate snakes, that doesn’t seem so paradise-ey to me.

The Last Judgement (wall behind the Sistine Chapel altarpiece) Christ is in the middle of the painting, and man he’s fucking PISSED! Through out the painting people are cowering at his wrath (including Mary). People are ascending and decending at the will of the big cheese and his saintly homies. The dead are rising and carnage is everywhere. Sooo heavy metal. ‘The artists self-portrait appears twice: in the flayed skin which Saint Bartholomew is carrying in his left hand, and in the figure in the lower left hand corner, who is looking encouragingly at those rising from their graves. -from www.WGA.hu this was the last piece of the Sistine Chapel to be finished. It was finished at the very end of the High Renaissance, marked by the sack of Rome in 1527 ,[object Object]
