Sistine Chapel…

The fame of the Sistine Chapel lies mainly in the frescos that decorate the interior, and most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment by Michelangelo.

Under the patronage of Pope Julius II, between 1508 and 1512, Michelangelo painted the chapel’s ceiling, a project which changed the course of Western art and is regarded as one of the major artistic accomplishments of human civilisation. Michelangelo returned between 1535 and 1541 and painted The Last Judgment for Popes Clement VII and Paul III.
