History

You will not find many people that are unfamiliar with michelangelo’s famous fresco, “the creation of man,” in which the two outstretched index fingers seem like they could move at any moment. the simple structure of the painting symbolizes nothing less than the origin of humanity, the ensoulment of the first man by god. it forms part of the wall and ceiling frescoes in the sistine chapel that brought michelangelo buonarroti worldwide renown.

 

While visitors to the Vatican Museums in Rome can marvel at these frescoes only from afar, “Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition®” now offers the opportunity to observe these masterpieces close up, in the form of reproductions. The exhibition takes us up onto the scaffolding during restoration for a new perspective. After centuries of use, the paintings in the Chapel had become covered in such a thick layer of dust and soot, and as a result of this deterioration the brilliance of the original luminous colors had all but disappeared. It was not until the comprehensive restoration work carried out in the 1980s and 1990s that the true richness of color in the wall and ceiling frescoes could once more be observed. The exhibition illustrates the restoration and allows us to view the monumental paintings from a distance of only 4 meters, as opposed to the usual 20 meters. “Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition®” thus brings an entirely new perspective to this work by Michelangelo and acts as a form of art in its own right.
