Michelangelo. The Creation of Adam. 1512. Fresco painting. 570 cm x 280 cm. Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museum, Vatican City. Saved the best for last, I suppose. I was mostly trying to avoid using highly famous art works, but I had to include it as it was something that I saw in person and it inspired me quite a bit. Before seeing it in person, I had no idea that it was surrounded by many other works of art on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It is pretty easily identifiable, though, even being surrounded by other masterpieces. The amazing attention to detail and skill involved in creating something like this is absolutely beautiful. -- source link
