4 years. He stopped and started on it and often redid what he all ready had done. It was 70 feet from floor to ceiling and he had to erect scaffolding to reach the ceiling and laid on his back painting. I have seen the ceiling 3 times and since it was cleaned the figures look like they are moving. The Vatican has a web site for the ceiling so go there to see it.
