There are many quotes by Michelangelo where he insists he is a sculptor and not a painter. Marble was definitely his preferred medium. An interesting aspect about the paintings in The Sistine Chapel is the sculptural quality of the images. This does not really show in photographs, but when seen in person one has the feeling that the figures are bursting out of the ceiling and wall.
