Sistine Chapel

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.

19 meters.

It is important because Michelangelo painted it and it is some of the greatest art in the world. It took incredible effort by one man to paint the entire ceiling while laying down. It also portrays stories from The Bible which are very important to Christians.

The Sistine Chapel is ... priceless. No amount of money in the world could replace the existing artwork on the ceiling if the building were destroyed.

While certainly considered priceless by the Catholic Congregation..... there IS a monetary value associated with it, because it cost money to build, to furnish, and to maintain. I am positive that at some level within the Catholic Church, someone can assign a monetary value to the Sistine Chapel, as well as all other buildings, statues, etc. inside the Vatican walls.

It took Michelangelo 4 years to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He painted it between 1508 and 1512.

Then it took him 6 years to paint the Last Judgement, which is a fresco on the wall of the altar of the Sistine Chapel. Painted between 1535-1541.

No, he definitely did not. He tried every way to say no to the Pope, but was ordered to paint. Twice during the work he even ran away, but each time he was detected and taken back to Rome. Michelangelo wanted to sculpt, not to paint.

Scenes from the Bible (Old Testament).


The scenes at the exact center are Creation of Eve, Fall of Man and Expulsion frm Paradise.

It's about 40 meters (131 feet) long by 13 meters (43 feet) wide. These numbers are rounded off just a little bit. Michelangelo painted over 5,000 square feet of frescoes.

The Sistine Chapel, designed by Baccio Pontelli, took almost eleven years to build (1473 to 1484) under the supervision of Giovannino de Dolci for Pope Sixtus IV.

"Detailed" is an adjective that means showing extensive attention to particular items. As an example, when used in a sentence: Michelangelo's detailed artwork in the Sistine Chapel is mind-blowing.

Michelangelo painted the chapel sistine.

It somewhere where people pee in.

I think the answer is 3 feet. The ceiling is slightly curved, so that is the actual surface distance...

A picture can be considered priceless when it has more value to the owner than it's true value. It can also mean that there is no conceivably price that can be placed on it such as the paintings of Michelangelo on the ceilings in the Sistine Chapel.
