> sistine chapel puzzle 8000

This poster is of an inset from The Creation of the Sun and the Moon, from the Creation scene on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, by Michelangelo. It shows a man seated on marble. This poster measures approx. 12" x 16" Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci. Two of his best-known works, the Pieta and David, were sculpted before he turned thirty. Michelangelo also created two of the most influential works in fresco in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.

This poster is of The Creation of Adam, a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, by Michelangelo. The fresco illustrates the Biblical story from the Book of Genesis in which God breathes life into Adam. It shows God's right arm is outstretched to impart the spark of life from his own finger into that of Adam, whose left arm is extended in a pose mirroring God's, a reminder that man is created in the image and likeness of God. Adam's finger and God's finger are not touching.
