∙ 11y agoThroughout the chapel there are fresco-ed panels by renaissance artists including Michelangelo (who also did the ceiling) Perugion, Botticelli, Pinturicchio ,Ghirlandaio, etc.. The barrel vault was originally painted brilliant-blue and dotted with gold stars to the design of Piermatteo Lauro de' Manfredi da Amelia. Raphael designed the tapestries for the chapel.
I could go on and on with the many famous artists and architects who contributed to the decor of the Sistine Chapel but I won't, why don't you just Google the history of the Sistine chapel and you will get all of your answers.
