The Sistine Chapel was completed in 1481, although its famous ceiling, painted by Michelangelo, was finished later, in 1512. The chapel was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV, from whom it derives its name. The ceiling's intricate frescoes, including "The Creation of Adam," are considered masterpieces of Renaissance art.
