The Sistine chapel is a masterpiece. It gave me shivers as I looked at the ceiling. Michelangelo, in my opinion, is the greatest artist of all time.

My first visit was thirty years before. Then I noticed the "solidity" of the figures on the ceiling. The restoration has removed that effect but what has been gained in terms of color is amazing. That's why the mural behind the altar had such an effect on me.
