Pretty cool if you've never been then. If you have a wheel on your mouse it zooms it in or out.

I went there after the restoration project was completed.”Awe inspiring” doesn’t even *begin* to describe it.

Incredible isn’t it? And it’s been there for half a millennium.

Any idea if the vintage of the side murals are the same timeframe as Michelangelo’s ceiling?

I think those were done earlier than Michaelangelo...

I wondered if everyone in Michelangelo’s family was musclebound and that was his only frame of reference...

Finally had a chance to be in the Sistine Chapel a few years ago. Unfortunately it was Easter week and the place was packed. The constant jostling made enjoying the ceiling impossible.

Thank you for posting this.

First time I was there the ceiling mural was still wet.

Rather than climb down the scaffolding yet another time, Michelangelo reached for the water to dilute his paints yet again ...

He was quite startled as booming voice resounded from above ... ‘REPAINT AND THIN NO MORE’
