Sistine Chapel, Vaticon City, Rome, Iltaly. Ceiling and
altar wall frescoe by Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Michelangelo Buonarroti is not only one of my favorite

artists, but his brilliant piece in the Sistine Chapel is one of my all time favorite works of art. Michelangelo focuses mainly on the realistic expressions on the human figure. To him, the human body is beautiful in its natural form, as well as its spiritual and philosophical significance. He made sure to capture this realism in his paintings. In the Sistine Chapel, many of the figures appear to be "painted sculptures."
