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.
Finally, golden stars on a blue background were painted on the chapel ceiling by Pier Matteo dâAmelia, as can be seen in a famous 16th century drawing now in the Uffizi. The chapelâs decoration was completed by Sixtus IVâs nephew, Giuliano della Rovere, who became Pope Julius II (1503-1513).
