About the Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is one of the great sights in the history of world art and is located in the Vatican. In addition to an incredible architecture, the decoration in frescoes made by Michelangelo and other artists, such as Boticelli and Perugino, stands out. Clearly, the highlight goes to the frescoes by Michelangelo that are on the ceiling of the chapel.
It is worth mentioning that this type of painting was not common to the artist, who had not even painted a fresco before the Sistine Chapel! Still, he did an exceptional job that took four years to finish. Due to the height, the creation was fraught with difficulties, as Michelangelo even painted the ceiling of the chapel standing up. But the result certainly made it worth it!
