Sistine Chapel: 50 fascinating facts

Contrary to myth, Michelangelo did not paint on his back, but on a platform of his own devising that extended over half the area of the chapel and allowed him to stand upright. It was moved midway through the project.

Michelangelo’s portrayal of God as a muscular figure with long white hair and big white beard is the one many of us imagine, yet this was the first time God had been depicted in this dynamic way. In most earlier paintings God was depicted simply as a hand reaching down through the clouds.

The Bible suggests that Eve’s forbidden fruit is an apple. In the ceiling panel depicting the Temptation, Michelangelo’s tree is a fig. The serpent in this scene, Satan, is depicted not as a male figure, but with a woman’s head.
