Ello there. Today I'll be blogging about things in life spesificly, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was considered 1 of the worlds greatest man who ever lived. 2 of his greatest works was the Statue of David, Sistine Chapel Ceiling and The Fresco of The Last Judgement. The statue of David represented symbol of Florentine freedom and it was to be placed in the Piazza della Signoria. The painting of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling needed 4 years. The composition eventually contained over 300 figures and had at its center nine episodes from the Book of Genesis, divided into three groups: God's Creation of the Earth; God's Creation of Humankind and their fall from God's grace; and lastly, the state of Humanity as represented by Noah and his family. On the pendentives supporting the ceiling are painted twelve men and women who prophesied the coming of the Jesus. They are seven prophets of Israel and five Sibyls, prophetic women of the Classical world. The Last Judgment is a depiction of the second coming of Christ and the apocalypse where the souls of humanity rise and are assigned to their various fates judged by Christ, surrounded by the Saints.
