The Creation of Adam

The creation is a fresco painted by Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo was not know for his painting but rather his sculptures but he was able to bring those raw emotion seen in his sculptures and convey them in this work. The nudity is very significant representing the vulnerability of Adam and Man. another important element is that the fingers do not touch, creating a vivid and unique representation of the divide between heaven and earth
