SISTINE CHAPEL

Michelangelo
Sistine Chapel
The Creation of Adam shows God giving life to the first man, while Eve, the first woman, watches from beneath his cloak.
 
A total of eight posts have been published based on the sketches Blake made of figures included in the frescoes Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. From the posts we can see that Blake was making the drawings to study Michelangelo's mastery of depicting the human form. But more than that he was learning from Michelangelo an understanding of humanity encountering circumstances which contributed to the psychic and spiritual development of human beings and their culture which evolved through time.
