While you explore these artistic gems, a knowledgeable guide will share interesting views on the shine of their maker and the history value of these artworks. Visit the Famous Sistine Chapel. To step inside the Sistine Chapel is to uncover remarkable secrets about Michelangelo’s frescoes—the very works that caused ceiling painting to reach something of a divine artistic high. Look at the famous Creation of Adam in which the hands of God and man nearly touch, and admire strong depictions of prophets, sibyls, and saints who together breathe working life into the biblically based narrative. Look closely to find Michelangelo’s hidden self-portrait, cleverly stitched into The Last Judgment, which shows both his genius and the complex relationship he had with his works. Since the Sistine Chapel is a sacred place, guided tours are not allowed inside. To help you enjoy its beauty, your guide will give information before going in and later will allow 15 minutes for you to see on your own.
