Stories You'll Hear

Michelangelo’s Reluctance: Did you know Michelangelo didn’t even want to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling at first? He considered himself a sculptor, not a painter, and felt tricked into accepting the job. Can you believe this masterpiece started with him grumbling on the scaffolding?

The Hidden Self-Portrait: Look closely at Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel—see that flayed skin St. Bartholomew is holding? That’s Michelangelo’s own face! It’s said he painted it as a nod to his struggles and inner turmoil. Talk about putting your feelings into your work!

St. Peter’s Dome: Michelangelo took over the design of St. Peter’s Basilica’s dome at age 71! He famously said he built it so that the dome would seem to rise to heaven. Picture him, an old man with renewed energy, pouring everything into making this one last statement of his genius.
