The Sistine chapel ceiling that Michelangelo painted had become so dirty that the figures were practically hidden under a layer of grime – above a before cleaning and after cleaning example.
The elegance and nonchalant grace of his figures portrays a skill level in painting that few achieve - what made his work dense artistically is his use of color and sculpture infused muscle rendering.
Have eye-catching night!
