Description of the artwork

While Michelangelo was putting his heart and soul into the project for the Tomb of Julius II , in 1506 the Pope changed his mind and decided to commission the artist to decorate the vault of the Sistine Chapel, thus interrupting the execution of the tomb and causing the ire of the artist, who preferred the sculptural undertaking to the execution of frescoes, which he was not at all familiar with, having never created any before.

In fact, the Sistine Chapel was the first fresco created by Michelangelo Buonarroti.

The Frescoes of the Sistine Chapel

The walls of the Chapel had been frescoed under Sixtus IV, between 1481 and 1483, with Stories from the Old and New Testaments by an important group of Tuscan painters such as Botticelli, Perugino and Ghirlandaio.

The vault, frescoed in the same period with a simple starry sky, still reflected a medieval taste; the pontiff proposed to Michelangelo to repaint it.
following an iconographic program based on the Stories of Genesis , the first book of the Bible that narrates the origins of the universe and humanity before the advent of Christianity.

The undertaking Michelangelo faced was extremely difficult, almost superhuman, given the enormous space to be painted, over 500 m², and the low-arched shape of the vault, which altered the view of the frescoes from the ground.

Michelangelo Buonarroti's Sistine Chapel

The Tuscan artist brilliantly resolved every technical and executional challenge. He painted everything practically alone and almost freehand, spending endless sessions lying on scaffolding with his head upside down, which caused him impaired vision and muscle pain, as he himself recounts in some of his letters.

When depicting the characters, the artist took into account the viewer’s point of view twenty meters below: when observed up close, in fact, the figures appear distorted due to the curvature of the ceiling, but from a distance they appear well-proportioned and the vision is optimal.

Michelangelo quickly achieved an exceptional level of executive confidence, unthinkable for an artist who had never worked in fresco before. The result is grandiose and spectacular, with over three hundred gigantic figures.
inserted within a powerful and illusionistic framework of fake architecture.

Thirty years later, Michelangelo himself painted the Last Judgement on the back wall, thus concluding the most spectacular, moving and engaging representation ever made of the story of man from his creation to the end of the world.

All the figures are depicted in illusionistic foreshortenings and complex poses, often characterized by “counterpoint” positions; the bodies, thanks to intense chiaroscuro, appear strongly three-dimensional, true painted sculptures, and exude great energy. However, among the various parts of the decoration there are evident stylistic evolutions, corresponding to the various phases of the work, which lasted with interruptions for approximately four years.

The Creation of Adam

The Creation of Adam is placed almost in the centre of the vault , it is the most famous scene of the cycle and is certainly one of the most extraordinary inventions of painting of all time.
God the Father is depicted as an old man with a flowing white beard , dressed in a pink tunic, who descends powerfully from heaven on a purple cloak billowing in the wind, supported by numerous angels.
He extends his right arm to give life to the first man. His hands reach out toward each other, brushing but not touching, evoking the soul’s constant yearning for union with God, unattainable in earthly life.

The young Adam, naked and with an athletic body, captured in the position of a classical statue, seems to slowly awaken from a deep sleep and in turn stretch out to receive the flow of life.

The two arms, intentionally isolated on the milky sky, constitute the fulcrum
of the entire scene. Once again, a completely new idea, born of an unrivaled creativity capable of overturning the tradition of the Holy Scriptures (which instead tell how God breathed on the clay form of the first man) and creating a scene of disarming power in its simplicity, conveying a universal message expressing God’s closeness to humanity and our aspiration for goodness and salvation.

In the Creation of Adam, the forefather of humanity born from clay, Michelangelo’s beloved theme of the soul yearning to free itself from earthly bonds returns; the same theme is also evoked in the figures of the Nudes, which can be interpreted, according to Neoplatonic philosophy, as spirits captured in the act of freeing themselves from the burden of the flesh.
