Michelangelo painted the Sistine and designed St. Peter's. St. Peter's is not painted in fresco but is done in mosics all through the basillica. Michelangelo did do the dome, but Bermini did the colonade ( 284 columns and 140 statues) and much of the intererior. The most famous of all statues is in San Pietro is the Pieta by Michelangelo that he begun in1498 as a 24 year old and is his only signed work. Directly under Michelangelo's dome is the Balacchino by Bermini. It is an amazing bronze canopy. Beneath this is St. Peter's tomb lit by 99 lamps along with a statue by Cambio from the late 1220's.

Why is the Sistine Chapel so important?
Sistine Chapel (Italian: Cappella Sistina) is the best-known chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in Vatican City. Its fame rests on its architecture, evocative of Solomon's Temple of the Old Testament, and on its decoration which has been frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists, including Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini, and Sandro Botticelli. Under the patronage of Pope Julius II, Michelangelo painted 12,000 square feet (1,100 m2) of the chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. He resented the commission, and believed his work only served the Pope's need for grandeur. However, today the ceiling, and especially The Last Judgement, are widely believed to be Michelangelo's crowning achievements in painting.

The Catholic church also supported arts through providing work in various projects for the church. Perfect example of that would be the Sistine Chapel and St. Peters.
