MICHELANGELO di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
Biography
Creation of Adam
1508-12
Fresco
Cappella Sistina, Vatican
Michelangelo's organization of the Sistine ceiling
frescos represents perhaps the most complex composition in Western art.
The space contains an intricate pseudo structure of architecture that frames
the sculpture- like forms. Out of the nine narratave scenes depicting events
from Genesis, the most sublime scene is this "Creation of Adam,"
in which his new vision of humanity attains pictural form.
