One of the frescoes from Michelangelo’s nine Books of Genesis scenes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It is the second scene in the chronological sequence on the ceiling, depicting the third and fourth day of the Creation narrative together in on panel.

Excellent post!
Only Michelangelo could envision the creation of our world. I love his thought “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.” (P.S. I don’t believe that – he is wonderful!)
So very very true!!!!!!!
How can anyone not find at least one thing created by Michelangelo to admire? He was brilliant.
Amazing! LOL… I wonder what he would think of my Art Gowns and AGM drawings?
Le sigh!
xoxoxoxoxo
Wrong way of thinking!!!! A Frank buzzer! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But then, can you imagine a Michelangelo among us, today? He’d probably kill himself before creating any of his masterpieces!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Geez, that buzzer is unnerving. Did you catch his new crowd booing machine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel sorry for the newbies.
It is interesting to think what good great minds could offer the world today, if they could get here through the life/time barrier.
It really is ….even worse than the buzzer! ….and I know from experience! 😂🤣😱😂🤣
I doubt they’d wish to live in our times… the times of “fast” everything [as you know too well!]

🤗🤗🤗🤗
He would however, adore your Art Gowns and drawing!
He’d probably start drawing gowns, and outdo me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh, no…. I’m pretty sure he’d raise his hands in admiration and use your Art Gowns to improve his frescoes! 😉
xoxoxo
❤❤❤
…drawingssss
He would love them, Resa!!
…and change all his frescoes with women wearing Resa’s Art Gowns!
That would be fabulous!!!
It would!!!!!!
I love the “moon” in the creation of the moon. Michelangelo was brilliant and had a great sense of humor.
Oh yes he did – I love his sun too! 😉
Besides a wonderful painter, the man had to be brilliant! Happy Sunday … Yamas!
Genius brilliant!
Happy Sunday, my friend and week ahead … and blogging break [hopefully a short one! 😉 ]
Yamas!
