Michelangelo Buonarroti: Wall object "The creation of the Adam" (bronze)

When Michelangelo created the vaulted research of the Sistine Chapel in Rome between 1508 and 1512, he already played a crucial role in Italy's artistic and intellectual life. In nine scenes, the ceiling fresco describes the history of creation. Its center forms two hands: the Adam, who is seen by the viewer, belongs to the warehouse, the right to the god -like father down from a cloud. The fresco made the indirect touch of their two index fingers famous: with incredible lightness and elegance, the gesture symbolizes the miracle of creation. Michelangelo does not actually show the creation of man, but his soul, shows the skipping of the divine spark. The wall object lifts the core of the spectacular work into the third dimension. The object increases the plastic effect and focuses entirely on the salary: the longing for the divine and its satisfaction in gifted art.
