Leonardo da vinci did not paint the Sistine Chapel.

Michelangelo created the frescos on the ceiling and on the wall behind the alter. He did it because his work was commissioned by the pope.

These frescos are the most important works in the chapel and are considered to be among the greatest achievements of Western painting.

The ceiling required about four years of working 20 hours a day, and sleeping only 4 hours each day.

Leanardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper, another famous and important religious painting, but not part of the Sistine Chapel works.
