OIL PAINTING: The Creation of Adam, Circa 1511( Before Restoration)
Michelangelo painted nine scenes depicting the events of Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Perhaps the best known fresco, the Creation of Adam shows the creative touch that passes from the hand of God to Adam's extended finger.
