Michelangelo

      I chose Michelangelo’s fresco painting of “The Creation of Adam”. This painting is not only beautiful but also extremely impressive. He painted this on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, which is curved, large and also often leaked. The physical conditions, as well as the time frame in which he painted this in is remarkable. I like how he was able to make the figures so life like and in motion. The use of highlighting and color choice really made the musculature of Adam, God and the other figures really pronounced.
