Sistine Chapel PaintersMany of the greatest Renaissance artists of the day are responsible for the paintings that adorn the Sistine Chapel: Michelangelo, Raphael, Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Cosimo Roseli, Luca Signorelli, and others. Of all of these, Michelangelo, (1475-1564) is the Renaissance artist most often associated with the Chapel, dramatic scenes from The Bible are painted on the ceiling and on the altar wall.

Michelangelo (1475-1564) started painting the Sistine chapel ceiling in 1508 and completed it in 1512 . It was a commission from Julius II.

The walls were painted in the 1480s by a few Florentine painters, as e.g. Botticelli and Ghirlandaio. Michelangelo painted the ceiling in 1508-1512 and the wall above the altar in 1534-1541.

There are nine different scenes on the ceiling. They all have to do with stories from the Bible, the creation of Earth, the Great Flood, etc.
