Perhaps Michelangelo thought so at times. Somewhat unsure of his abilities as a painter, he is reported to have suspected the commission was a plot by the Papal architect Bramante to embarrass him with failure. He complained to Pope Julius II 'The place is wrong and no painter I'. The Pope often visited Michelangelo while he was working on the ceiling, and as the Pope often did he asked when Michelangelo would be finished. His answer was 'when I can' . One day the Pope was especially irritable and struck Michelangelo with his staff repeating 'when I can, when I can'. The Pope sent 500 ducats to Michelangelo as an apology and work continued.
