The Sistine Chapel roof, painted by Michelangelo somewhere in the range of 1508 and 1512, at the commission of Pope Julius II, is a standout amongst the most prestigious works of art of the High Renaissance. The roof is that of the extensive Chapel worked inside the Vatican in Rome. Fundamental to the roof design are nine scenes from the Book of Genesis. Among the last to be finished was the Creation of Adam in which God the Father revives Adam, the primary man. The Creation of Adam is one of the well known artworks ever and has been the subject of endless of references and spoofs.
