THE SISTINE CHAPEL FRESCOES Between 1508 and 1512, Michelangelo painted the vaulted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. He worked on a scaffold eighteen meters above the floor and covered 930 square meters of surface. Most of the time he painted GUIA DE ESTUDIOS PARA INGLES. SEGUNDO DE SECUNDARIA while he lay on his back, in a tight, cramped position. Each day fresh plaster was laid over a part of the ceiling. Michelangelo then had to complete that portion while the plaster was still wet. He could not repaint mistakes. Except for a man who laid the plaster and another who ground and mixed the paints, Michelangelo completed the whole fresco painting by himself. The nine main scenes depict the story of Genesis from the Creation to the Flood. Other scenes show the ancestry of Christ, stirring moments in the Bible’s history, and the Hebrew prophets and pagan gods dreaming of the good that was coming to the world. The painting is huge and majestic in every detail. More than twenty years after he completed his ceiling frescoes for the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo began his enormous fresco “The Last Judgment”.
