The look he is attracted to the vault where, in an impeccable composition, he loses himself between the powerful figures of the Sibyls and the Prophets and the suggestions of the Universal Creation, the Creation of Man and the Expulsion from Eden.

The entire chapel then displays a notable series of on the side walls masterpieces depicting the Life of Christ signed by Rosselli, Perugino, Botticelli.

The Stories of Genesis on the ceiling (Michelangelo Buonarroti)

On the main wall is the Last Judgment by Michelangelo: in a centrifugal structure which has Christ as its judge origin, the figures of the resigned Virgin and the deities develop Saints of the Church. The figures are shocking in their expressive power of the angels of the Apocalypse sounding the trumpets of judgment they wake the dead from their sleep. On the left the figures rise to the sky taking back their bodies, to the right thedemons drag downwards the damnedwhere a Charon uses the oar to spur those condemned by the Judgment of Christ.

As everyone knows, the work caused a scandal due to its exhibition of naked bodies in the genital parts and for this he was commissioned Daniele da Volterra to cover the parts in question with his trousers. Responsible for the decision was the Master of Ceremonies of Vatican Biagio da Cesena, who for this outrage was depicted in the figure of Minosby the great, ironic, Michelangelo.

The spiral staircase that leads out of the Vatican Museums is a joy for the eye, the last jewel of an unforgettable visit.
