Michelangelo- Sistine Chapel ceiling

This enormous fresco painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was created by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. This incredible artwork depicted the doctrine of humanity's need for Salvation as offered by God through Jesus. The complex design of images in the painting as well as the vibrant color of all the details has shown many features of High Renaissance art including humanism and the devotion in divine art of the Catholic Churches.
