What challenges did michelangelo face when painting the Sistine Chapel?

Answer 1

He spent 4 years on a scaffold on his back painting the frescoes. One problem he had was often the plaster would dry out while he was still working on the art. He went blind for a time because of the paints, and he would often remove what he had done because it wasn’t perfect. The scaffolding was 70 feet above the floor of the chapel and at that height he had to be careful. The pope often would come in asking when he would be done.

Answer 2

It took 4 years and was a massive job. From the floor to the ceiling is 70 feet and to reach the ceiling he had to build scaffolding. Most of the work he did laying down on his back on the scaffolding and he would often remove what he had painted because he didn't like how it looked. He was a perfectionist and he had problems with his eyes before he finally finished the painting.

Answer 3

that he did not like the popes bribing him. For him money nothing compared to the kingdom of god that he had entered into.

Answer 4

Michelangelo literally had to paint the ceiling on his back (on a sturdy platform, of course); even when paint started to drip into his eyes.
