1508 -1541 · Sistine Chapel, Genesis and Judgment
At the Vatican Museums, the vault and altar wall of the Sistine Chapel allow Michelangelo to be followed from the creation of the world to the final destiny of humanity.
Michelangelo's journey to the Vatican unfolds in two interventions separated by more than twenty years. Between 1508 and 1512, the vault of the Sistine Chapel transformed architecture into a painted cosmos: episodes from Genesis, prophets, sibyls and ancestors were ordered around the relationship between God and man. Adam's Creation becomes the most famous image, but the Libyan Sibyl or the Separation of Light and Darkness show the same fusion of thought and anatomy. From 1536 to 1541, the Last Judgment covers the altar wall of an unstable humanity, gathered around a Christ who sets each body in motion.
