Great Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling... turned out to be a brilliant masterpiece.
Some say it pales in camparison to Raphael's works, but ironically it was Bramante and Raphael whom convinced the Pope to commission great Michelangelo to do it.
IN FACT!!! Michelangelo forte was in sculptures NOT fresco painting. So why him?
Fierce debates there are, but the truth seems hidden.
Who cares about paintings, what i care is the ceiling!
Ceilings are definitely, to me, the hardest bitches to paint.
Why? I was ORDERED to paint my living room ceiling by my mum. Darn, it was hard work.
It was neck-breaking, had to climb up climb down, not to mention the crappy bad weather outside that made my paint dry so slowly blah blah blah. I swore i nearly broke my neck.
I realised, Michelangelo was GOD, he endured the Sistine Chapel ceilings for FOUR YEARS.
God knows how many times he took MC for neck-related injuries, BUT FOUR YEARS!!
When i visit the Sistine Chapel next time, I'll definitely relish the fact even you gay and your Platonic Love for male beauty which really irks me, you indeed painted well.
Ah, gotta do my 2nd coat tmr... zzz
