Sistine Chapel Ceiling

This painting is located on the ceiling of the Vatican Museum in the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo. I had the opportunity to see this in person this past summer. This photo does not show how amazing this artwork truly was. It was crazy to see all the detail in the paintings that cover the ceilings and walls. I could not believe that what I was looking at was painted by hand. The central ceiling shows nine scenes from the book of Genesis. The scene of God touching and creating Adam is the most known. The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel is covered in amazing paintings. It was probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen. You could sit there all day and stare at the walls and ceilings, every time discovering a new piece. It was truly amazing.
