Private night tour of the Sistine Chapel. Sorry, no cameras allowed. Michaelangelo painted it at age 33 over 4 years. He refused the job initially as he was a sculptor. But the Pope refused his refusal. Michaelangelo ignored all advice and suggestions for the ceiling and did it his way. It wasn't oil on canvas but some form of paint on plaster. The stories told through the paintings and the paintings themselves cannot be adequately described in words. You see it, you feel it.
The famous helical exit steps after an evening in the Vatican Museums and Sistine. Lisa and Rosa on far side.
Thank you Rosa!
