Station 3 â Michelangelo's Frescoes. The ceiling and western wall of the Sistine Chapel are adorned with some of the most celebrated paintings in the world created by the famous artist â Michelangelo Buonarroti. Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the ceiling in 1508 and he completed his work in 1512.
He created in this intimate space a gesture of such living power that it serves as the focal point of the entire ceiling. One of the earlier Sistine Chapel ceiling scenes is that of Noah's flood. Read more about Deluge by Michelangelo on the next page.
