Michelangelo

7. Sistine Chapel Ceiling
• The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted
by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is a
cornerstone work of High Renaissance art. The ceiling's
various painted elements form part of a larger scheme
of decoration within the Chapel, which includes the
large fresco The Last Judgement on the sanctuary wall,
also by Michelangelo, wall paintings by several leading
painters of the late 15th century, the whole illustrating
much of the doctrine of the Catholic church.

8. David
• It is a 5.17-metre (17.0 ft) marble statue of a standing
male nude. The statue represents
the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art
of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series
of statues of prophets to be positioned along the
roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the
statue was placed instead in a public square, outside
the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government
in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504.

9. Pieta
• The Pietà (1498–1499) is a work
of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti,
housed in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. This famous
work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his
mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of
Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not
yet in Italy. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is
unprecedented in Italian sculpture. It is an important
work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical
beauty with naturalism.

10. The Last Judgment
• The Last Judgment, or The Last Judgement is a fresco by
the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo executed
on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. It
is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and
the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity.
The souls of humans rise and descend to their fates, as
judged by Christ surrounded by
prominent saints including Saints Catherine of
Alexandria,Peter, Lawrence, Bartholomew, Paul,
Sebastian, John the Baptist, and others.

11. The Creation of Adam
• The Creation of Adam is a fresco painting
by Michelangelo, which forms part of the Sistine
Chapel's ceiling, painted circa 1511–1512. It illustrates
the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of
Genesis in which God breathes life into Adam, the first
man. The fresco is part of a complex iconographic
scheme and is chronologically the fourth in the series of
panels depicting episodes from Genesis. It is the most
well-known of the Sistine Chapel fresco panels, and its
fame as a masterpiece of art is rivaled only by the Mona
Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.

12. Bacchus
•Bacchus (1496–1497) is a marble
sculpture by the Italian High
Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect
and poet Michelangelo. The statue is
somewhat over life-size and
depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine,
in a reeling pose suggestive of
drunkenness.

13. The Madonna of Bruges
•The Madonna of Bruges is a marble sculpture
by Michelangelo of Mary with the infant
Jesus. Michelangelo's depiction of
the Madonna and Child differs significantly
from earlier representations of the same
subject, which tended to feature a pious
Virgin smiling down on an infant held in her
arms.

14. Moses
• The Moses (c. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the
Italian HighRenaissance artist Michelangelo Buon
arroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in

the Biblical figure Moses with horns on his head,
based on a description in the Vulgate, the Latin
translation of the Bible used at that time.

15. Dying Slave

Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Created
between 1513 and 1516, it was to serve with
another figure, the Rebellious Slave, at
the tomb of Pope Julius II. It is a marble figure
2.15 metres (7' 4") in height, and is held at the
Louvre, Paris.
