The master piece of a 23 year old
Say to have been done by someone else
The angry Michelangelo set them straight
In the deserted night
He snuck in to see his own sculpture
Taking a chisel he carved
The next day people saw what he had done
Michelangelo's name was etched in Mary's sash
Proving a 23 year such as himself could create something so incredible
No one ever second guessed his work again
But he always amazed people regardless
A 4 year long painting
So many different stories in millions of brush strokes
Taking stories from the Bible Michelangelo puts it all into paintings.
Famous for sculpting though Michelangelo refused
Forced by the Pope he painted
Still in existence today
The ceiling of The Sistine Chapel is easily one of the most beautiful things man has made
4 years on he laid on his back, day in and day out
Michelangelo created something that will forever be timeless


Indeed: "The ceiling of The Sistine Chapel is easily one of the most beautiful things man has made." I'd love to see it for myself some day...
