The creation of Adam
"The Creation of Adam has become a universal expression of the creation ideal. The creative act of God was conceived of as a large, dynamic, almost abstract composition and yet the visual forces within the composition direct the elements to a point of profound tension between Adam's and God's fingers. The dynamic force of God, who is surrounded by his hosts, sweeps earthward while Adam, the individual man of the earth, listlessly raises his arm to await the divine energy of the divine breath of life and power." -(Lindsay Farrell)
The famous painting on the ceiling of Sistine chapel' in Vatican by Michelangelo completed in 1541. He took 4 years to finish a series of 9 paintings to fill the immense space of 5,800 square feet of the Sistine Chapel ceiling with the themes of creation and redemption.
Shot during my second visit to Vatican in 2008. Photography is prohibited in the chapel.
