READING AND COMPREHENSION
Read the following story carefully and answer the questions that
follow it.
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”. This is a vast painting that covers the entire wall of the chapel
behind the altar. Its size, technical excellence, makes it a worthy partner
for the ceiling paintings.
